"As long as you use the correct fuel that's all they want. They test the fuel and check it is right but I am pretty sure they can't test what can it came out of. "

They don't have to test which can it came out of, they merely have to look at the orders. If a competitor has not made an order, then he cannot be abiding by the regulations and is therefore non-compliant.

The regs have to be enforced exactly as they are written.

For example if the regs say
""Competitors are required to pre-order their fuel. Each competitor is required to order in multiples of 25 litres." then EACH competitor is obliged to order at least 25 litres of fuel.

Of course common sense would suggest that what the rules were intended to say was:

1) Competitors must use control fuel.
2) Control fuel must be pre-ordered in multiples of 25 litres.

As you see, the change is wording is small. It suggests that the organisers had a very clear intent in mind, which was that each competitor should order their own 25 litre drum.

That could be because people sharing a drum and being found to have a non-standard fuel could argue that it was not them who had put the non-compliant fuel in the drum.

One might have to add a clause "It is the responsibility of each driver that the fuel they use is compliant", though one could see the lawyers arguing that this means that the supplier has to be able to test the fuel at the track on demand, otherwise the law is unenforceable.
