Ik heb nog wat gevonden op F1.com. Ik weet niet of je er wat aan hebt:

Pit-stop refuelling is once again a vital part of Formula One, and an integral part of modern race strategy. The fuel rigs are designed to operate as quickly and safely as possible, two-stage location and double sealing ensuring the best possible fit. The rigs pass fuel at the rate of about 12 litres a second. The hose itself operates as a 'sealed system', requiring air and vapour to be extracted as fuel is added. It is very heavy and requires one mechanic to hold its weight while another engages and disengages the nozzle. Another mechanic will stand by a fuel cut-off switch next to the pump itself. Leakages are extremely rare, although accidents have happened, for example to Michael Schumacher at the 2003 Austrian Grand Prix.
Hier ook nog een linkje naar f1.com, naar het stukje van het Technische Reglement dat gaat over het bijtanken: http://www.formula1.com/insight/rule...gs/14/488.html
