Oftentimes, the thing that separates a well-intentioned enthusiast from a true professional is the knowledge and technical understanding they bring to a sector. While anyone can go out and purchase high-quality equipment, it’s another thing altogether to be able to truly make the most of those tools. That’s why, aside from offering some of the top OEM products and upgrades on the market, Fuel Tech takes the time to offer regular courses to educate those who really want to take their expertise to another level.
Take, for example, an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). A quality ECU can be the necessary instrument to level up just about any vehicle to its maximum potential, whether it’s a racing car or a personal watercraft. They allow for precision control when it comes to things like fuel injection, ignition timing, boost control, and many other engine parameters, making them essential for professionals and enthusiasts in everything from drag racing to watercraft sports. However, simply plugging one in and reading a quick-start manual will never be enough for someone who wants to truly maximize speed and precision. That’s where Fuel Tech’s training course comes in.
The “Base Tune: 3-Day Training” seminar is coming up at the end of this month (September 25-27) and promises to provide advanced technical training to those wanting to take full advantage of their ECUs. The in person seminar features topics such as “Proper ECU & Component Selection,” “FT Manager Software Feature Introduction,” “Tuning Principles,” and “Base Map Creation,” among many others. It takes place in an intimate class of a maximum of 25 students led by experienced technicians and includes an FT Education Certificate, as well as training handbooks and promotional kits as bonuses. Classes run from 9 AM to 5 PM, include breakfast and lunch, and take place at their site in Ball Ground, Georgia.
Apart from this course, Fuel Tech is also offering another Base Tune training session at the end of the year for Spanish speakers, and they regularly run wiring and electrical courses for those looking to get more into the hardware aspects of the work. Those can be found on the Fuel Tech Education home page.
There’s no deadline to apply, but they’ve recently announced that there are limited seats remaining, so be sure to check out everything the “Base Tune” course has to offer before it’s too late!
