Register today for a new course designed to train students in the proper procedures to visually inspect CNG fuel systems from high pressure cylinders through the 1st stage regulator. Topics include cylinder identification, installation,

General and Detailed Visual Inspections, proper venting (de-fueling), disposal and documentation. See reverse side for complete program description.

Mr. McGlinchey has over forty years of technical automotive experience, the last twenty five dedicated to alternative fuels. His background has been primarily in NGV conversions and in that capacity he served on the American Gas Association’s original NGV-3 task force to establish automotive conversion system standards and, more recently, the Natural Gas Vehicle Coalition’s NGV-2 Taskforce on cylinder inspection protocols.

Mr. McGlinchey retired from West Virginia University’s National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium in June of 2002. He has since formed his own consulting company, AFV International, and began offering alternative fuel services internationally with successful contracts in France, Asia, Nigeria and South America as well as the United States. Bill has authored his third book on alternative fuels, a study guide for CNG technicians.

*Compressed natural gas fuel system components are intended for use on natural gas powered vehicles. Installation shall be in accordance with requirements of the authorities having jurisdiction and with the current edition of ANSI/NFPA 52, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicular Fuel Systems.

Training in New Technologies for Jobs in Energy“A PREPARATION COURSE FOR CSA*

COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS FUEL SYSTEM INSPECTOR”

Seminar Leader Bill McGlinchey

AFV International

The CNG Fuel System Inspector Certification program replaces the CNG Cylinder Inspector Certification. This improved, expanded program offers inspectors the highest level of certification to include the inspection of containers, valves, PRDs (including vent system) and other fuel system components of compressed natural gas powered vehicles. The certification complies with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 17024 standard for personnel certification programs

Ensuring the integrity of NGV fuel systems is a vital part of fleet safety. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires all on-board CNG storage cylinders manufactured after March 1995 be visually inspected every three years or 36,000 miles whichever comes first. In addition, cylinders should be inspected following any accident.

Upon completion of this course, students will:

• Understand high pressure storage principles• Understand fuel system component definitions and operation• Identify cylinder types, construction and materials• Differentiate relative sensitivities to operating conditions and solutions• Identify applicable cylinder and system standards• Understand proper installation and handling of high pressure cylinders, transfer tubing,

safety devices and pressure regulation• Knowledge of proper atmospheric venting equipment• Perform Scheduled and Emergency De-fueling procedures• Determine inspection requirements• Differentiate between General Visual inspection and Detailed Visual Inspection • Understand proper disposition procedures• Complete inspection forms and documentation• Identify types and levels of cylinder damage• Knowledge of various Pressure Relief Devices characteristics and failure modes

The course is designed to prepare you for the CSA certification exam. This exam has a separate fee and is not included in the cost for the class. Once you have completed the training and received the study guide for the exam, you may take the exam at your leisure, or take it at Zane State College when the group exam will be scheduled on campus.
