Ok so it hasnt happened to me yet, but I have come up with a solution to the theft of fuel from trucks and cars alike. I plan on putting cross bolts into my fill pipe far enough down that it wont affect the fill nozzle, so that they cant get a siphon hose down the pipe. 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!

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 *** 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.

Only death can stop a thief. If they want it bad enough, they will take it.
