Fuel Security Systems
for Gas Stations and Facility Type Stationary Tanks
Many businesses use on site stationary fuel tanks to refuel their own vehicles and equipment. When refueling processes for vehicles, heavy machinery or generators from these tanks are not properly protected, it increases the risk of both theft and internal abuse. FuelGuard creates a complete end to end fuel security chain by combining security solutions for the fill neck, ventilation, bottom drain and outlet lines of stationary tanks with vehicle side tank security.
Fuel Guard Generator Diesel Tank Protection Solutions for Stationary Tanks in
Gas Station and Facility Type Sectors
Gas stations, construction sites, factories and agricultural enterprises contain stationary fuel tanks that are strategic points housing the most valuable energy reserves of businesses. These giant chambers with capacities of thousands of liters require a defense line to be established at the same point continuously against theft attempts because, unlike vehicle tanks, they cannot change location. These tanks, especially located in secluded corners of facilities or back fields with low supervision, are high yield targets for diesel theft. The accumulation of tons of fuel at a single point turns the issue of diesel security from a simple precaution into a financial necessity.
The security of stationary tanks cannot be provided only with a locked cap because professional thieves can easily neutralize locks. Diesel tank security systems that come into play at this point protect every point from the tank fill neck to ventilation outlets and bottom valve connections.

How Fuel Guard Generator Diesel Tank Security Contributes to
Your Business in Gas Station and Facility Type Sectors
- The theft of fuel from base station generators causes the station to shut down during outages and leads to a halt in communication services. By preventing theft, Fuel Guard guarantees the continuity and security of the critical communication network.
- Generators are located in rural and isolated areas, along roadsides or at points far from the grid. Fuel Guard strictly prevents the theft of tank fuel even during these unsupervised and high risk waiting periods.
- Theft attempts are frequently experienced at rural base stations. By preventing theft, Fuel Guard reduces both fuel loss and emergency and expensive service routes required for fuel replenishment.
- During theft attempts, there is a risk of foreign substances (water, dirt) being thrown into the tank or leakage occurring. By securing the tank inlet, Fuel Guard minimizes the risk of contamination that could damage expensive generator motors.
- Low fuel levels due to theft during periodic checks at base stations cause a waste of personnel time. By guaranteeing that the fuel remains in the tank, Fuel Guard increases the efficiency of control and maintenance processes.

How Does Fuel Theft Occur from Stationary Tanks in Gas Stations and Facilities
Theft from stationary tanks usually occurs by inserting a hose through the tank fill neck (manhole or fill pipe cap) for siphoning or through internal abuse (unauthorized pump use or bypass). Fuel Guard style fill neck security systems provide protection by preventing siphoning with a hose, especially in cases where the fill neck is open or the cap is broken.
Why Is a Siphoning Prevention System Necessary Even if the Stationary Tank Cap Is Locked
Standard locks and caps are simple mechanisms that thieves can easily open or break. In the event of the cap being broken or stolen, the tank remains defenseless. Systems integrated into the fill neck make it physically impossible to insert a hose into the tank even if the lock is opened, forming the final line of defense.
Does Using Fuel Guard Style Systems Affect the High Volume and Fast Filling of Fuel Tankers
No. Fuel tank security systems designed for stationary tanks are engineered to be compatible with the high flow pumping speed of fuel tankers. While ensuring security, the devices do not slow down the fuel flow coming to the tank or cause operational disruptions during the filling process.
