    Description
    Formerly AMECH 490 and ATT 490. Alternative fueled vehicles are extensively used in fleet service. This course covers the theory of operation, installation, testing, trouble-shooting, and repair of gaseous fuels with a focus on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as well as an introduction to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This course discusses both dedicated and after-market systems. Gasoline and diesel powered vehicles are discussed with an emphasis on computer-controlled fuel injection. Components are heavily discussed in this course to include everything from storage up to the injector(s). Successful completion of this course will prepare students for the CNG Inspector's Certification.
