Fuel Guard 100% Prevents Combine Harvesters and Tractors from Stopping at Critical Moments Due to Fuel Theft
Running out of fuel at the most critical times for tractors and combine harvesters can affect the productivity of the entire season. Fuel Guard fuel security systems ensure the continuity of agricultural production; we 100% prevent disruptions in processes such as planting, harvesting, and spraying due to fuel theft.
Fuel Guard Fully Secures the Diesel of Heavy Agricultural Vehicles with Hydraulic Equipment
The high fuel consumption of agricultural vehicles working with heavy loads and hydraulic equipment makes them a target for fuel theft. By securing your fuel with fuel protection systems, it zeros out unexpected costs caused by theft and provides direct savings in your agricultural business budget.
Fuel Guard Eliminates Costs That Destroy Profitability by Ending Fuel Theft in Heavy-Duty Agricultural Vehicles
High fuel expenses of agricultural vehicles working under heavy loads, when combined with fuel theft, destroy business profitability. By securing your fuel with fuel security solutions, it zeros out unexpected costs caused by theft and provides direct savings in your agricultural business budget.
Fuel Guard Ends Diesel Theft in Agricultural Vehicles Parked in the Field at Night
Vehicles parked in the field at night or in areas far from settlements are vulnerable. Fuel Guard fuel security solutions provide a definitive solution for preventing fuel theft even in the most desolate areas, without the need for you to keep watch over your vehicles

Problems You May Experience If You Do Not Use
Fuel Guard Fuel Tank Protection Systems in Agricultural and Farming Vehicles ?
Business Interruption and Product Loss During Critical Harvest Period
In periods such as harvest or planting time where even minutes are important, the occurrence of fuel theft causes tractors and combine harvesters to remain without fuel in the field. The disruption of work creates a major commercial income loss due to the inability to collect the product on time, not just the cost of the lost fuel.
Unsupervised Fuel Losses in Defenseless Lands
Vehicles parked at night in desolate lands far from settlements are completely defenseless against the threat of fuel theft. When fuel security solutions are not used, unsupervised thefts occurring in open areas go unnoticed and cause serious unexplained increases in your total operating expenses.
Operational Control Vulnerability Occurs in Remote Lands
You cannot stand at the head of your fleet working in large and scattered lands at every moment. When fuel security solutions are not used, you lose your management power over your vehicles working in areas far from the center. This supervision gap disrupts work discipline and directly reduces your operational productivity.

Tank Cap and Tank Neck (Anti-Siphon Protection)
Special purpose commercial vehicles and heavy machinery (cranes, concrete pumps, mobile generators, etc.) often operate in locations with low supervision, such as construction sites, warehouses, or open parking areas, and are left idle for long periods. Since the fuel tanks of these machines have large volumes, the most common and first method that comes to mind in theft attempts is direct physical intervention through the tank cap. Forcing the caps, breaking them, or opening them with a duplicated key is a frequent occurrence in these types of vehicles.
Fuel Guard starts by taking this main entry point under protection. For this purpose, it uses high-security, patented locking systems and physical shields that demonstrate extraordinary resistance against external interventions such as lockpicks or crowbars. This powerful external protection aims to deter the theft attempt at the very first stage. However, Fuel Guard protection does not only end at the cap; the real deterrence begins with the mechanism that comes into play inside the tank neck.
This mechanism is the "Anti-Siphon" (or Siphon Preventive) technology. This special apparatus is permanently mounted to the tank neck of the vehicle and makes it physically impossible to drop a hose, pipe, or similar device into the tank and withdraw fuel by "siphoning". Even if the tank cap is somehow bypassed or opened by breaking, the Anti-Siphon strainer strictly prevents the thief from reaching the fuel. This constitutes the first and strongest dual-layer line of defense offered by Fuel Guard for special purpose commercial vehicles and heavy machinery.
Fuel Float
Experienced thieves, specialized in fuel theft, search for alternative and weaker access points when they see that the main fuel entry point, the tank cap, is protected with high-security systems. In the tanks of special purpose commercial vehicles and machinery, this potential weak link is usually the fuel float area. This sensitive part, which measures the fuel level of the vehicle, is mostly located at the top of the tank in a relatively less protected area and is easily accessible by removing a few screws due to its standard installation.
Thieves target removing or breaking the float by aiming at this vulnerable point. This intervention provides them with both a direct and wide access path into the tank and the opportunity to quickly withdraw fuel by siphoning through this opening. Moreover, this type of theft not only leads to fuel loss but also causes the float to malfunction, creating high repair and spare parts costs for the machine owner and disrupting the vehicle's operation.
Anticipating this critical vulnerability, Fuel Guard has developed steel protection covers and locking systems specially designed for the float area of special purpose commercial vehicles. This secure cover is firmly mounted over the float sensor and completely seals this upper part of the tank against external interventions, forcing, and sabotage.
Under-Tank Fuel Drain Plug
One of the methods often ignored in fuel security, but with the most devastating results, is draining from the bottom of the tank through the discharge plug in special purpose commercial vehicles with large-volume fuel tanks. Every fuel tank has a standard discharge plug placed for maintenance and cleaning processes. Professional thieves take advantage of these vehicles staying in construction sites, logistics centers, or unsecured parking areas to get under the vehicle, unscrew this standard plug, and drain the entire tank in a very short time.
This method is extremely dangerous because of both the short duration of the theft and the fact that it allows the highest amount of fuel to be stolen; moreover, it is much more difficult to detect than other theft methods. To eliminate this extremely serious risk, Fuel Guard has developed special security solutions for the fuel tank discharge plugs of special purpose commercial vehicles.
Frequently Asked Questions for
Agricultural and Public Service Vehicles in the Field of Fuel Tank Security ?
How is the System Accessed When Emergency Maintenance or Tank Cleaning is Required?
While Fuel Guard prevents unauthorized external intervention, it provides special and controlled access for authorized service and maintenance personnel. The tank cap lock and system are designed so that maintenance or cleaning processes can be performed quickly and without damage. This does not slow down the workflow in emergency situations.
How Does Fuel Guard Support the Effective and Transparent Use of Public Resources?
The fuel used in public services is directly the citizens' money. Fuel Guard prevents the misuse of this resource by zeroing out diesel theft physically. Thus, it guarantees that all fuel is spent only for public service, supporting transparency in the budget and concrete financial discipline.
Is the Mission Continuity of Fire Trucks or Emergency Response Vehicles Guaranteed?
Yes. The theft of fuel from fire trucks, ambulances, or emergency response vehicles means the cessation of vital services. Fuel Guard eliminates these risks, ensuring these vehicles remain on duty 24/7 in an uninterrupted and reliable manner. The system is designed to eliminate the risk of theft, not operational disruptions.
