Certification

An exam written to fail forum knowledge.

The curriculum is sourced from ORNL, EPA and the trade press rather than from kit vendors. The exam has critical questions: get one wrong and you fail regardless of your score, because each of them covers a mistake that damages an engine or lands you a Clean Air Act fine.

What the exam actually asks

01

At what ethanol concentration do elastomers show peak swelling?

02

Rail pressure falls away at load on a DI conversion — what do you do?

03

A kit is EPA-listed for vehicles outside useful life. The car is three years old. Legal?

All three have counter-intuitive answers. All three are marked critical.
