Stolen Diesel Fuel
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 Freightlin...

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.
Had an incident here in WV were a box van pulled up to a station right over the fill caps. I don't remember what happened but the thieves took off. When the LEOs got there they found a 500 gal converted propane tank with a pump attached and a hose stuck down in the station's gas tank. I don't know if they ever caught them or not.
