MTTIA Annual Conference

In this session we will examine how CAN Bus functions and how diagnostics can be accomplished with information available at the DLC.  We will use a CAN Bus trainer and live vehicle for DMM, DSO and scanner diagnistics.

Vehicles, equipment and the fuels that power them have changed significantly in recent years. Alternative fuels are becoming increasingly more available in the marketplace. National and state goals for reducing vehicle emissions and increasing use of domestic and renewable fuel sources have required new pollution control equipment, reduced sulfur levels in fuel, and increased use of biofuels like ethanol and biodiesel. This workshop will provide an overview of petroleum fuels; history of gasoline and diesel fuels and recent changes; characteristics of biofuels (biodiesel, renewable diesel and ethanol) and compatibility with vehicles and equipment; fuel specifications and quality; identifying and troubleshooting common fuel issues; fuel storage and handling best practices; and Q&A.

After completing a workshop, participants will be able to:
• Describe and compare the characteristics of petroleum and renewable-based fuels.
• Explain how the fuels work together to power vehicles and equipment.
• Match biofuel blends with compatible vehicles and equipment.
• Accurately identify fuel related issues.
• Provide recommendations for preventing fuel related issues through best management practices.
