I am gonna try it tonight on my truck and if all goes well and I can get them to seal I will put some in the fiance's blazer soon as well. I think "the right stuff" sealant is rated for diesel so we will find out for sure, cause I like to fill it all the way up to the neck when I have the $ to do so. It'll also keep the DOT from dipping you for red and I'm pretty sure they cant say anything about it. Simple, cheap, effective. Thats my goal here!!!
-I have a cordless drill with a 2'in hole saw. -You have a plastic fuel tank which makes it that much easier! I just stole your fuel in a couple of minutes and you didn't even hear a word or knew what hit ya! |
Yup they are just punching the tanks with screwdivers or what ever and putting a pail underneath. All trucks should have the rollover ball from the factory.
|
i find if they want it bad enough they'll get it no mater what.
i just turned the sensitivity to the max and added a shock sensor real close to the tank along with a loud ass siren. that way they may get some fuel but they leave hurtin in the ears. and it is hard to be discreet when you can't hear yourself think. |
man first it was cats now its fuel. trust me if i catch someone punching a hole in my tank they wont be alive long enough to tell anyone what happened.:DD: whats wrong with ppl these days straight up lack of common respect.

Only death can stop a thief. If they want it bad enough, they will take it. |
Be awfully tough to steal the fuel from my truck. :)
It's parked behind the fence and the two dogs would love a game of tug-a-war with your legs while you're under my truck. :D |
smart idea my man. also alocking gas cap couldnt hurt...
|
My truck is spoiled it sleeps in the garage. I also live in a rural area & most people are scared of us country folks... they know we have guns & WILL shoot!
