I will park between two fleet trucks , especially if my tanks are full. I don't mind parking by other owner ops unless their truck looks like it oughta be in the junk yard . Somebody driving junk might not be able to afford fuel.

Hey yall,............ It's called locking fuel caps!!!! Go invest you a few bucks, i think peterbilt charges 125$ or so a pop, but lock your fuel up!!!! Alot of people/drivers fail to realize, a 2$ bag of sugar can ruin the hell out of a $100,000 truck, u see. I learned this lesson as a young adult back in my home town where someone ruined my honda bc of some hate HE HAD in his heart, AND DUMPED SUGAR ALL DOWN INTO MY FUEL TANKS lmao, u can't let that happen in a big rig, especially, if it's your business!!!


-
Gee, thanks. Nobody's mentioned that in this thread.
VisionLogistics, SHO-TYME and DoneYourWay Thank this. -
Whatever lmao don't get sugar in your tanks! Moral of the story
-
I have an idea that might be dumb but if fuel theft is heavy in your mind then what you could do is build a box out of 3/8 inch thick steel around each tank and some way figure out a fuel cap for that box.... Same goes for the crossover lines

I had another suggestion, but then I remembered we aren't supposed to promote violence on this site. Never mind.
VisionLogistics and dannythetrucker Thank this. -
Right, cuz no truckstop fuel thief / pimp / drug dealer ever carries a knife...
-
Lock fuel caps and those anti syphon screens.Those screens may not work but it'll take em alittle while to remove the screen and then just maybe you can catch em in the act.
-
Well maybe not a little while, one quick punch with a hammer and a good steel shaft and that screen will be either at the bottom of the tank or have a nice hole in it....
-
Just rig a Claymore to yer fuel caps... that'll take care of pretty much everything!
