fuel thiefs

National rifle association

 

yes anything to make them work harder will deter them, if they cant do it quietly they will move to easier prey. nra stickers work as well, a dog barking, anything that looks like a camera, etc

 

NRA would be the National Rifle Association

 

Sure you ain't just forgetting to put em back on after fueling? . Just kidding..
Always been a problem, seems more so these days..

 

First rule of savingyour fuel...never fuel up at night.
Thieves like to watch the trucks at the islands that fuel then go park.
They try to park next to you and when you head in for a shower, eat, or whatever...
Locking caps usually work. The thieves just go to an unlocked truck. Lot's easier.
The anti siphon devices usually are not screens, just a metal insert that blocks a larger hose from being inserted. But a 3/8 hose will fit in the middle.
If they use an electric pump, they can suck you dry and you'll never hear it.

 

3/8" hose takes forever!!

 

I had this happen to me one night in northern new mexico. Didnt hear him as the truck was idling with the AC on trying to keep my wife happy. If I ever catch somebody doing this to me or someone else, they better be able to run good and fast as they wont be running much more if I catch up to them.

 

Lights also... a thief like to work in the cover of darkness... I often leave my aux LED lights that go around the bottom of my cab/sleeper on, talk about bright...
