Getting diesel stolen

My company has them installed too. And all you need is a handy pair of snap ring pliers to pull those out.

 

oh really?Alot of good they do then.Ive never had fuel stolen thank god but like others say,leave your tanks low.With the price of fuel more and more ppl are getting fuel stolen.

 

Maybe a cap designed like a combination lock would work. Roll the 5 digit code located on the top of the cap to unlock it.

 

Surprised nobody's mentioned it yet, as it often comes up in these threads about fuel theft.

All those fancy locking caps and siphon guards won't stop a battery powered drill and a bucket.

 

Good point......just like people that steal catalytic converters. They use the handy battery powered grinders to cut through the muffler pipe. Almost got mine stolen one time. Started off to work one morning and my muffler pipe fell off.

 

Or a sawzall.

 

Security cameras, or fakes. Don't forget decals located by the fuel caps announcing the cameras to the would-be thieves. Ought to convince them to move along.

 

Or a blow-up doll sitting in the sleeper so they think a real person is in there.

Might be tricky explaining that to your wife though.

 

the locks are not best to use. i bought a set around ten years ago.worked till the son of #####es took a cordless drill an put a hole in the top of tank , now u have to buy new tank and fuel!

 

What I dont understand is if you have a locking fuel cap, whats their to say the truck is full of fuel anyway? It may be empty, or wouldnt it be nice just to put apple juice and let them have it!
