    Beleive it or not. there really isn't that much splash. I've accidentally left my fuel cap off on one tank or another. Get to where i need to go and the outside was still dry. I even went over donners one time.

    The caps have their links on so no seperating from the tanks.

    What you propose to do (breaking deal and putting own lock) is called criminal sabotage. Punishments varies state to state.

    LOL

    That looks like a Freightliner cap too.

    Doh,.. fortunately my chain is still connected to that little metal stopper. Plus I have regimented myself with a routine before I leave the fuel island so something like that will not happen.

    Y'all say lighten up now, but wait til it happens to you. I've actually had someone slash two tires, and turn off the reefer just because they didn't like the company. Lucky for me I was parked in direct line with a security camera and I also have my own four camera system on the truck, so, the guy was caught and charged.

    We all out here doing a job. Yeah, some are dickheads and park at fuel island while they shower, get their fatty burger with fries and diet coke, but ####ing with their equipment is going to far.
