Release 1 

New unit of competency.

Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect and service compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems. It involves preparing for the task, inspecting the system, reporting the inspection findings, servicing and adjusting the system, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The CNG fuel systems include those of agricultural machinery, forklifts, heavy commercial vehicles, light vehicles or mobile plant machinery.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit in some jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant regulatory authority.

  • vehicle identification, including identification markers
  • service and adjustment procedures for CNG fuel systems, including checking compliance of fuel system emissions
  • post-service testing procedures for CNG fuel systems.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the vehicle CNG fuel systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

  • automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace
  • workplace instructions
  • ASNZS 2739 Natural gas (NG) fuel systems for vehicle engines
  • manufacturer servicing schedules and vehicle CNG fuel system specifications
  • vehicles and machinery specified in the performance evidence with operating CNG fuel systems requiring servicing
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and servicing CNG fuel systems.
