Today there are more than 40 different EPA-approved fuel blends used in the U.S. Many are aggressive and have negative effects on fuel systems. Learn how to choose the correct fuel hose for various applications.
· 10:00-10:30 a.m. – “Understanding Loss of Tension in the Accessory Belt Drive System”
Belt drive tension loss impacts all components in the accessory drive system. Learn how to avoid false codes, belt misdiagnosis, customer comebacks and profit loss.
· 10:30-11:00 a.m. – “The Benefits of Timing System Replacement”
Belts, tensioners and idler pulleys all work together to keep the timing system working properly. Learn tips to increase sales of timing component kits and reduce up to 70% of labor claims associated with this system.
