But...
Only my opinion, and I know its the expensive option but I would use the tyres for practice only, I'm afraid.
Its not the possibility of tyre sniffer detection and what the outcome could be if tested positive so much as what has actually happened, and what the rule book says about it.
- fuel will definitely swell the rubber of any NRL tyre, and as an unavoidable consequence, temporarily reduce the shore hardness, so even though it was unintentional, and the tyres may be no more grippy in real terms, you have in effect applied a softening agent to the tyres and that is expressly prohibited by the MSA regs. In reality you can't wait for that to evaporate and use them again - it already happened.
It is also likely that some of the less volatile end of the fuel will stay in the tyres for some weeks, and even then you are just hoping its gone.
