Release 1

This version first released with AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package Version 6.0

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose and repair faults in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel systems of vehicles or machinery. It involves preparing for the task, sourcing the diagnostic testing strategy, carrying out the diagnosis and the repair, performing post-repair testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

The unit applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The unit applies to LNG fuel systems in 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.

Assessment Conditions

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 LNG 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
  • manufacturer LNG fuel system specifications
  • AS/NZ 2739 Natural gas (NG) fuel systems for vehicle engines
  • two vehicles with different LNG fuel systems with faults
  • diagnostic equipment for LNG fuel systems, including exhaust gas analyser
  • tools, equipment and materials appropriate for repairing LNG fuel systems.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
