Some oil theft prevention devices

The cost of filling a tank of diesel is not a small amount of money for a truck driver, but fuel thieves can sweep thousands of dollars worth of diesel out of the truck in just 2-3 minutes.

In order to prevent oil thieves from stealing oil, many drivers are also trying to protect the fuel tank, and even made some props to prevent oil thieves.

First of all, in terms of technology anti-theft, there are now many large truck fuel tank anti-theft alarm devices on the network, this fuel tank immobilizer more than the use of radar induction and vibration induction dual detection, when theft gangs move near the fuel tank or rotate the fuel tank cover, touch the fuel tank, it will trigger the alarm. This alarm price more in the range of 300-500 yuan, the overall effect is quite good. Especially to the fuel tank drilling this way of oil theft, once the tank feels the vibration of the drill, the alarm will sound.

In addition, the most common anti-theft devices are the fuel tank security cover and the fuel tank security net. The fuel tank lock on the truck usually has a general effect and does not play an obvious anti-theft role. Therefore, many owners will change a professional anti-theft fuel tank cover, this modification is also the most economical and simple. And now many anti-theft gas tank cover also upgraded alarm device, when the oil thieves twist or pry the gas tank cover, the alarm system will be triggered.

Another anti-theft tank net can prevent oil thieves from stealing oil by putting a steal tube into the bottom of the tank, and this metal filter is also relatively strong, not easy to be destroyed, and not expensive. However, oil thieves also use a very thin tube to penetrate the filter to steal oil, but at least it reduces their efficiency of oil theft. 

Other countries also have some measures in place to deal with oil thieves.

This anti-theft fuel tank cover on the picture has a very small size and a simpler internal design. According to the information, the bottom of this fuel tank cover adopts floating progressive closing device, which can prevent fuel thieves from stealing fuel with fuel stealing tube. And the special internal shape design, when filling the fuel without worrying about reflux, can be filled in accordance with the normal refueling speed.

The smart fuel tank cap is the easiest to retrofit, simply by replacing the vehicle's original fuel tank cap. When the sensor inside the smart fuel tank cap detects that the gas cap is rotating or opening, it will trigger an alarm and send a text message or email to the owner or fleet manager's cell phone through the built-in wireless system to alert them, thus ensuring the safety of the fuel tank.

In addition to a simple modification of the gas cap, there is a more technologically advanced wireless fuel theft alarm. It monitors the fuel tank through sensors and will immediately sound an alarm once it detects a vibration in the fuel tank, a rotation in the fuel tank cap or someone wandering around, as well as sending a text message alert to the owner's cell phone.

Also, controlling the amount of fuel is a good way to go. Drivers need to calculate the amount of fuel and distance in advance, thus ensuring that there is only a small amount of diesel in the tank when they rest at the next service station or unloading point. This way, even if it is stolen, you can also maximize the financial loss.
