Fuel Tank Security
for Combine Harvesters and Harvesting Machinery
Combine harvesters and harvesting machinery operate very intensively during the harvest period. They are in constant motion all day in vast lands and often spend the night at the edge of the field or at remote locations. Due to their large volume tanks, even a single incident can result in serious fuel loss.
Fuel Guard protects the fuel tanks and critical fuel line points of these machines with project based solutions. Our system prevents invisible losses that may occur during the harvest season and makes the fuel cost per unit of product predictable. By implementing combine harvester fuel security solutions, you ensure that your operational budget remains protected against unauthorized siphoning and theft.
Fuel Tank Protection Solutions for
Combine Harvesters and Harvesting Machinery Sector Vehicles
Combine harvesters and large agricultural machinery generally maintain their operational activities in lands far from residential areas and security infrastructure. Fuel, which constitutes a large part of operating costs, can remain vulnerable to the risk of fuel theft in these unsupervised working areas. To ensure the efficiency of business processes and keep costs under control, it is of strategic importance for businesses to guarantee that the diesel in the tanks of the machines is used only for business purposes

How Does Fuel Guard Add Value to Your Business by Protecting the Fuel Tank Security
of Your Vehicles in the Combine Harvester and Harvesting Machinery Sector?
- Harvesting is the most critical period, racing against weather conditions and time. Fuel Guard prevents machine breakdowns caused by stolen fuel, guaranteeing the uninterrupted continuation of the harvest schedule and eliminating the risk of products being stranded in the field.
- The fuel tanks of large machines like combine harvesters are many times larger than those of normal trucks. By strictly preventing the theft of large amounts of fuel from these high-capacity tanks in a single incident, Fuel Guard prevents major financial losses.
- Harvesting machines stay in isolated fields or storage areas overnight. Fuel Guard provides physical security that zeros out the risk of fuel theft even during these unsupervised waiting periods.
- A combine harvester stranded on the road due to fuel can stop the entire harvesting operation. Fuel Guard prevents such standstills, eliminating the risk of loss due to unharvested products ripening in the field or being damaged by weather conditions.
- Fuel consumption is very high during the harvest period. By removing theft-related losses from the equation, Fuel Guard allows the business to accurately calculate real fuel efficiency per unit of harvest or per hour and make correct plans for the next season.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Fuel Guard Fuel Tank Security for Combine Harvester and Harvesting Machinery Sector Vehicles
Does Fuel Guard Provide Compatibility Since Combine Harvester Fuel Tanks are Very Large and Have Different Structures?
Yes. Special sized and ultra durable Fuel Guard models are available for harvesting machines such as combine harvesters, cotton pickers, and large tractors, which differ from standard trucks. These models are designed to fit perfectly into large tank necks and strictly block even high volume theft attempts.
When is the Risk of Fuel Theft Highest During the Harvest Period and How Does Fuel Guard Provide a Solution?
The risk of theft is highest during the hours when machines are left unsupervised overnight in the field or storage area. Regardless of the vehicle's isolated location, Fuel Guard is a physical barrier mounted on the tank neck that provides uninterrupted security during the critical harvest period by completely preventing fuel siphoning with hoses.
Does Fuel Guard Slow Down Frequent and High Speed Fuel Refilling Processes of Combine Harvesters During Intensive Harvest Periods?
No. Harvesting period is a race against time and fuel filling must be fast. High quality Fuel Guard systems are optimized to be compatible with the high flow capacity of agricultural fuel tankers. While ensuring security, it does not extend the refilling time.
