Methanol fuel systems need careful operation because methanol is toxic and flammable. Understanding its hazards and the equipment used to handle it helps protect people, assets, and the environment. Learners will build a foundation for following operating procedures, checking system conditions, and responding to abnormal situations. The training applies to common methanol fuel operations without assuming a particular facility or system design.
