Container Port and Terminal Transport
Vehicle Diesel Tank Security Solutions

Tractors working on port, terminal, and warehouse-port lines operate in 24/7 shifts and generally wait in large open parking areas. FuelGuard fuel tank security systems physically block diesel theft attempts that may occur day or night in these high-tempo vehicles, making the fleet's fuel expenses predictable and controllable.

Fuel Guard Diesel Tank Protection Solutions for
Container, Port and Terminal Sector Vehicles

"Industrial Depot Vehicles" (terminal tractors, forklifts, reach stackers, etc.) used in port management and container terminals, and "Stationary Tank" systems such as generators within the field, are equipment subject to industrial security standards. In these vehicle groups, the security of the diesel refueling line is provided by a physical barrier system that prevents external intervention. Fuel Guard technology transforms the fuel line into a mechanically isolated system, accessible only to the authorized filling nozzle, by closing the tank entrance with an impact-resistant hardened aluminum alloy block. The diesel security system has a patented internal structure that prevents diesel from being siphoned from the tank with a hose or drained with an apparatus.

Fuel Guard, How Does It Contribute to Your Business by
Protecting Your Vehicle's Fuel Tank Security in the Container and Port and Terminal Transportation Sector?

  • Vehicles carrying containers wait in line for hours at port entrances-exits and customs areas. During these long and unsupervised waiting periods, the fuel tank remains vulnerable. Fuel Guard eliminates the risk of fuel theft by preventing insidious interventions to the fuel tank cap during these times.
  • Fuel Guard fuel tank security systems physically prevent large amounts of fuel from being withdrawn at once by mechanically protecting the fuel tank inlet of container-carrying vehicles. The system prevents uncontrolled discharge of fuel, brings fuel losses close to zero, and prevents the operation from suffering losses due to fuel costs.
  • In ports, not only mobile vehicles but also generators and stationary fuel tanks are covered by protection. The system prevents fuel withdrawal from the bottom by sealing the discharge plug under the tank with special encrypted bottom plugs produced for each model, 100% preventing fuel theft from the bottom. The chassis filter between the engine and the tank and the fuel transfer hoses are taken under protection with sealed clamps, and all points where fuel can be taken out of the system are included in a closed-circuit audit network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Fuel Guard be applied to many different types of equipment in Port Terminals?

Yes. Fuel Guard systems provide adaptable solutions not only for terminal tractors (container carriers) but also for all motorized port equipment with different tank designs, such as reach stackers (stacking vehicles), forklifts, RTG cranes, and generators used in ports.

Does Fuel Guard slow down the flow rate in a busy Port environment?

Port and terminal operations require fast refueling. Quality Fuel Guard anti-siphon devices are designed not to interrupt the flow rate of high-capacity industrial fuel pumps. In this way, Fuel Guard provides security without compromising operational speed.

Why is Fuel Guard necessary when Port Field Security is already high?

Although general field security in ports (perimeter walls, cameras, etc.) is high, fuel theft is usually carried out by authorized or unauthorized personnel inside the field at parking or break areas for vehicles. Fuel Guard eliminates internal abuse and external theft risks in authorized entry areas by physically protecting the tank.
