Fuel Prices Putting The Squeeze On Your Profits?

March 6, 2008

What do you do?  Locking Fuel Caps, Anti-Siphons, fuel additives, park the truck and wait, steal your friends fuel, coast down hill, get a second job???

Many solutions are available for this problem but only a couple are worth trying.  Fuel additives are always a good idea to promote economy,  Additives like “The Right Stuff Oil and Fuel Booster”, “Lucas Oil and Fuel Additives” and “Dyno Tabs” do a great job cleaning injectors and lubricating the fuel pump but have no impact on “Fuel Theft”.  Parking the truck or stealing  fuel are out of the question so we are left with Locking Fuel Caps or Anti Siphons.  These products offer two different ways to protect your fuel investment.  The best of these two options, in my opinion, is a Locking Fuel Cap.  A Locking Fuel Cap not only keeps your fuel safe from thief’s but also keeps it safe from contamination.  Keep some jerk from dumping sugar in your tank!  The second choice is the Anti Siphon device you insert into the filler neck.  This product is easily installed and will keep a siphon hose from sucking your tank dry.  Thieves will get a few gallons off the top but the device keeps their hose from hitting bottom.  Cost is the big factor in making this decision.  Locking Fuel Caps are 2 to 3 times the price of the Anti Siphons but they offer quite a bit more protection.  Most of our customers at Fleet Oil and Truck Supply, that have one to five trucks seem to go for the Locking Fuel Caps and the companies with large fleets will go for the Anti Siphons.    Another thing to consider about locking fuel caps and anti siphons is they are not fail safe!  A bad guy with time and tools can still get to you.  In today’s world of HIGH FUEL COSTS you need to do something…

    it’s really sad that we live in a day when you actually have to install a cap lock and anti-siphon device. Are people really that desperate?
