Stolen Diesel Fuel

you could always put a sticker on your vehicle advertising bio-diesel or veggie oil powered.
most people won't touch a rig using alternate fuels especially if they think all they will get is filtered used cooking oil.

I have not had it stolen from the RV but I have had it stolen from my backhoe,

Never diesel. Gasoline - yes, but not in the last 7 or 8 years.

I had wondered if we might lose diesel by punching tanks etc. It happens but our would have to be off the jacks, I think. No way could I crawl under i even when skinny.

Haven't had gas\fuel stolen in years and years...maybe from my car back in high school if ever...can't actually remember.

I used to siphon petrol outta my sisters car way back when... :)

Not too worried about it actually.
I do read more and more people getting hit with gas tank punching.
Catalytic convertors are the big item with thieves here lately.

Always wondered:
Do gas stations lock the covers on the fill pipes in the ground?
I was watching a truck fill the tanks at a 76 station last week.
The driver just flipped up the cover stuck the hose connector on and started pumping.

After reading a prevous post about gas getting siphoned or lines cut to steal fuel, was wondering how many have had diesel fuel stolen from there rigs? I have 2 70 Gallon fuel tanks on the Freightliner and I cinch the caps down pretty tight with a pair of channel locks, no problems so far...

That assumes they'd siphon - chances are they'll just punch a hole in your tank and suck it out.
