Choosing wisely

Choosing the right fuel security for your fleet can be a daunting task.
There is a myriad of anti-siphon devices on the market, all claiming to prevent your fuel being stolen.


Problem 1

The trouble with all anti-siphons is that they sit in the tank, submerged in the top layer of fuel.
This means up to 70 litres can still be siphoned off, as shown below.

 

Problem 2

The vast majority of anti-siphon devices are poorly made and have various flaws.
For instance, a weak base is easily knocked out with a screwdriver, allowing a thief to drain the entire tank.

Discovered during a recent inspection: the anti-siphon’s base has been knocked out, allowing access to the entire tank of fuel.

 

Problem 3

All anti-siphon devices allow the tank to be over-filled, or “brimmed”.
Brimming is a common tactic used by unscrupulous employees - brim the tank and secretly skim off the fuel later.

Over-filling / brimming causes spillage and leakage problems.
Spills and leaks can also occur if a sub-standard, ill-fitting anti-siphon is fitted.

Left: A “brimmed” tank. Right: Consequential spillage.

 

The only choice

The only way to solve all of the above problems is to use TankSafe®’ Optimum.

Its unique patented design incorporates a locking float valve that rises with the pressure of the fuel in the tank during filling. When it reaches 98% capacity, the valve locks off, preventing the tank from being filled any further.

Every drop of your fuel is locked in the tank. No other device in the world can do this.

 

Unlike anti-siphon devices, TankSafe® Optimum uses a patented system to lock fuel in the tank, and prevent any penetration or compromise.
