Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose complex faults in liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel systems and determine the repair action necessary to restore system performance. It involves confirming the existence of a fault, choosing the diagnostic procedure and tools, applying the diagnostic procedure, reporting conclusions and making repair recommendations. Complex faults are outside the normal scope of a technician’s diagnosis and repair work. They include intermittent faults, multi-system faults, faults introduced as a result of system repairs, and indirect faults caused by the influence of external systems, requiring the application of complex diagnostic processes to resolve.
The unit applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The LNG fuel systems include those in vehicles from all sectors of the industry.
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
- AS/NZS 2739 Natural gas (NG) fuel systems for vehicle engines
- manufacturer LNG fuel system specifications
- three different LNG fuel systems with complex faults

- scan tools
- compression gauges
- vacuum gauges
- tools, equipment and materials appropriate for diagnosing complex faults in LNG fuel systems.
