Parking

With cost of fuel down from last summer's highs....I would say it's not drivers siphoning the fuel.....more like crackheads and speed freaks looking for some "easy" cash....
You can get locking caps but fuel thieves have been known to use a drill to extract the fuel.

 

Yea i agree someone selling stuff to locals. We have these little bandits around here that carry a gas tank on the back of their truck. They got about 800 bucks of fuel off us. the local law claims they can't prove they did it. We used to park at the dollar store now we bring the truck all the way to the house cause of diesel bandits.

I suggest you get gas tanks locks for your tanks... or huge mouse traps LOL!!!

Man they don't want you putting gas locks on their truck... thats dumb.. one thing too is try not to go home with a lot of fuel. we started doing this too... that way they may not hit your truck if it aint got a lot in it...

will this help...

Had some idiots one time think that I couldn't hear the fuel cap being removed while sleeping, I opened my Window and spoke to them, "who wants to dies first" or something to that effect, I ended up with a siphon hose and 5 gal gas can.

 

See if Lowe's has security cameras and see if you can park your truck where it's in sight of the camera . It will be for their benefit because they have trucks too . Did you think to ask if security cameras around Home Depot might have recorded something when your fuel was stolen? They also have trucks and their trucks could be hit next .

 

HAHHA now thats funny 'who wants to die first' LOL

 

Ever think about the problems locking fuel caps would cause on abandoned truck ? There are also anti-siphoning devices that fit inside the tank .

 

Yeah the anti-siphoning devices are a great tool. All of the Macks where I used to work had them, it's basically just a metal basket with a bunch of holes drilled in it. It also keeps large debris from falling in the tank if for some reason you try and put your garbage or leaves in the fuel tank. They can cause the pumps to stop fueling though, when the fuel splashes back up. The TMC trucks don't have them though, and it would be against company policy to install them.
