Propane & Natural Gas Vehicle Conversions & Inspections

The Propane Vehicle courses include both the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) and vehicle inspection programs. Both types of programs involve classroom and hands-on training. All courses meet the requirements of the B149.5-05, Installation Code for Propane Fuel Systems and Tanks on Highway Vehicles, the B109-01 Natural Gas of Vehicles Installation Code Provincial requirements and other Provincial requirements. Students complete both written and hands-on testing and receive a license from TSSA for the ICE programs and a certificate from the Propane Training Institute for the others.
