What is a Diesel Retrofit Installer
A diesel retrofit installer typically involves making a fleet of vehicles emit lower diesel exhaust through a program to install a retrofit device to highway and non-road vehicles. The premise is to create cleaner running diesel vehicles, especially in heavy equipment situations.
The career outlook for a diesel retrofit installer is good. They make on average $39-$59 thousand a year.
The job as a diesel retrofit installer involves analyzing a fleet inventory, logging exhaust temperature data, understanding the DPF regeneration and cleaning requirements, selecting the appropriate retrofit technology, parts, installing the units and monitoring backpressure and maintaining the engine for optimal exhaust control.
Because ultra low sulfur diesel fuel is required for highway vehicles and will be phased in to the non-road sector beginning in 2010, the time is now to start installing diesel retrofit units to make vehicles and off road heavy equipment compliant with EPA standards.
Because the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality has started the diesel retrofit initiative for cleaner air quality, any vehicles that burn diesel and biodiesel need to be equipped for the newer types of diesel blends and diesel retrofit installers are a growing occupational field that is a result of energy efficiency and the recent "green" movement.
A diesel retrofit installer can generally get training for the position from the retrofit supplier, since most of them will provide training to fleet mechanics and personnel as part of purchasing retrofit units from them. A diesel mechanic can quickly become trained as a diesel retrofit installer, and the retrofit device typically is installed as muffler replacement.
Because of this, many muffler replacement technicians are also being trained in diesel retrofit and some companies may choose a company where there is diesel retrofit installer personnel, if they don't have their own fleet mechanic team.
This is part of the push for a greener America, to burn more efficient and less polluting fuels, and the ultra low sulfur diesel fuel will become the standard by 2010.
Because there are millions of diesel burning vehicles on America's roads emitting harmful diesel emissions, the new regulations make diesel retrofit the most effective means of getting vehicles in compliance. Other options include replacing older vehicles, put a new engine in, or rebuild the present engine. Obviously diesel retrofit installer jobs will become more popular since the other options cost more than the $900 to $1500 per vehicle diesel retrofit.
A diesel retrofit installer will be in high demand as the phase in of non-road equipment is covered and should stay that way until the 2010 deadline, in this effort to cut pollution and make America a "greener" place to live.
