Propane Autogas Vehicle Technician Training Course
The Propane Autogas Vehicle Technician Training Course offered by the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium at West Virginia University is designed for groups to learn how to efficiently service and maintain propane autogas vehicles. The comprehensive training encompasses various aspects such as the functioning of liquid and vapor-injected systems, and the differences between converted and factory-made vehicles. Participants gain insights into components like injection systems, engine design, fuel systems, and electric controls, along with the physical properties and characteristics of propane autogas. The course also covers the production process of propane autogas, its advantages and limitations, and essential safety practices. By the end of the course, participants are equipped to retrofit conventional vehicles to utilize propane autogas effectively, applying safety protocols during maintenance operations.
Available for groups only, this course teaches participants to safely service and maintain propane autogas vehicles. It covers both liquid and vapor-injected propane autogas vehicle systems in addition to converted and factory-made propane autogas vehicles. It covers various components such as injection systems, engine design, fuel systems, and electric controls. Participants learn the properties and characteristics of propane autogas and how vehicles are retrofitted to use propane autogas. Participants also learn how propane autogas is produced, benefits and considerations of using the fuel, and appropriate safety practices.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the different types if propane autogas vehicles and the different fuel systems.
