Use when the user asks for typical motor vehicle engine tester work such as: Build instrumentation or laboratory test equipment for special purposes.; Order new test equipment, supplies, or replacement parts.; Set up mechanical, hydraulic, or electric test equipment in accordance with engineering specifications, standards, or test procedures.

Motor Vehicle Engine Tester

Motor vehicle engine testers test the performance of diesel, petrol, gas and electric engines in specialised facilities such as laboratories. They position or give directions to workers positioning engines on the test stand. They use hand tools and machinery to position and connect the engine to the test stand. They use computerised equipment to enter, read and record test data such as temperature, speed, fuel consumption, oil and exhaust pressure.
