Diagnose complex faults in LPG fuel systems

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to diagnose complex faults in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) 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.

This unit applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The LPG 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.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

methods and processes for documenting and reporting diagnostic findings and recommendations.

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 LPG 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 1425 LP Gas fuel systems for vehicle engines

manufacturer LPG fuel system specifications

three different LPG fuel systems with complex faults

LPG fuel system diagnostic equipment, including:

scan tool

vacuum gauge

compression gauge

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for diagnosing complex faults in LPG fuel systems.

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