New Low Cost Anti Syphon Device

New Quality Device for Volvo, DAF, Mercedes, MAN & Renault

With the high cost of diesel and increased diesel theft incidents, aide automotive is to introduce a new low cost truck anti siphoning device.

FuelKeep Value is a strong high quality device for the larger truck tanks such as Mercedes, Iveco, DAF, Volvo and many buses and coaches with the larger 80 mm filler neck and bayonet cap.

Manufactured in steel this high quality device will protect the tank filler neck from unwanted siphoning thieves and is the first line in defence of regular skimming or dipping from the 5 litre jerry can thief.

A recent survey by the Road Haulage Association (RHA) saw six in 10 respondents (58.2%) say they have been victims of fuel theft in the last 12 months. The trade body said it undertook the survey of 151 members in response to a sharp increase in the number of fuel thefts reported.

The RHA survey has revealed there has been a hike in the number of thefts in the region of 1,000-1,500litres, compared to the average 100-600litres that is normally targeted.

A North West Based Haulier stated: “I can confirm we have been targeted a handful of times so far in 2011. It has been a problem for the industry for a long time, but fuel is becoming like liquid gold-dust, so I’m not surprised to hear the number of incidents has risen again.”

FuelKeep Value is relatively easy to fit by any competent person with the added security the permanent locking system the device is virtually impossible to be removed.

With the new FuelKeep Value a large or small fleet can secure fuel tanks at an economical price. In addition a haulier could install the Tank Guard product to protect against a tank attack to achieve fuel security at all times.
