I just finished reading Todd Brennan's article regarding forklift exhaust emissions. A curriculum developed by the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC) in the US that deals specifically with monitoring and maintenance of propane forklift fuel systems is available.

Is anyone interested?

Joseph et al,

While the Google search will lead you to more inoformation, that page (and project) are inactive, i.e., on-line registration is no longer works. But, the program is still available. We'll be happy to send you the details and/or share the curriculum with anyone who can use it.

Best regards,

WHM

OK, here's the deal.

The PERC course is now sold as a package at a price that allows company's to either hold exclusive classes for just their employees or sell seats to their customers for a profit.  This is if we provide the trainer, training manuals, lab activities and equipment, etc.

Or, we will sell just the training materials directly for companies that have their own training organizations with the intent of incorporating the curriculum into their own programs.

You can contact PERC or email or call us directly if you want the specifics.  I can be reached at [url/email removed] or
at our office: AFV International LLC, 01.740-.205.2107

I hope this helps.

I had the opportunity to review the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) participant manuals: Forklift & Industrial Engine Propane Fuel Systems Training Manual, Volumes 1 and 2; Editor, William H. McGlinchey. I found the materials well organized and very informative.

If you are a forklift/industrial engine technician who services propane fuel systems or you employ technicians who service propane fuel systems, you should consider this course/material as it will improve knowledge in troubleshooting propane fuel system problems and improve proficiency in repairing and maintaining such systems. With an ever increasing emphasis on air quality, safety, and reduced down time, this information is invaluable.

Educational facilities which offer forklift/industrial engine vocational technical courses would do well to incorporate the PERC material as part of their current curriculum.

Interested parties should contact William McGlinchey at AFV International, LLC, Lancaster, Ohio (USA).
