Fuel Guard by Protecting Fuel Tanks in Buses Midibuses and Minibuses ?
Fuel Guard Ends Fuel Theft in Bus Midibus and Minibus Vehicles
By zeroing out fuel theft we guarantee your vehicles depart at their planned trip times. This ensures you meet your punctuality commitment to passengers and fundamentally prevents customer complaints and loss of company reputation.
Fuel Guard Prevents Hundreds of Liters of Diesel Theft
We prevent hundreds of liters of diesel that could be stolen from your buses with large fuel tanks. This means instant and direct cash savings in your business budget. It significantly shortens the return on investment (ROI) by turning theft losses into profit.
Fuel Guard Eliminates the Risk of Being Stranded on the Road Due to Fuel Theft
We prevent a vehicle carrying passengers from being stranded on the road or at a dangerous point due to fuel theft. By eliminating situations that threaten passenger safety you significantly reduce your company's legal liability and insurance premium risks.
Fuel Guard Does Not Allow Organized Fuel Theft in Common Parking Areas
Terminals and garages where vehicles are parked collectively create a physical deterrent. It prevents organized theft networks from damaging more than one vehicle at the same time thus protecting the operational capacity of your entire fleet.

What Problems Can You Experience If You Do Not Use
Fuel Guard Fuel Tank Protection Systems in Bus Midibus and Minibus Passenger Vehicles ?
Trip Delays and Loss of Corporate Reputation
Bus lines depend on a tight schedule. Due to fuel theft situations where the vehicle cannot depart for a trip or is stranded on the road lead to chain delays. This situation directly causes customer dissatisfaction and seriously damages your company's reliability and reputation.
Large Scale Theft and Immediate Major Financial Loss
Fuel tanks of buses are usually over 300 liters. 150 to 200 liters of diesel stolen in a single night means a very large and direct financial shock for your business. Thefts of this magnitude create large unplanned holes in your business budget.
Being a Collective Target in Terminals and Overnight Parking Areas
Buses are generally parked side by side in large semi-protected areas of terminals or depots. In the absence of Fuel Guard a theft network can easily provide access and empty the tanks of more than one vehicle at the same time. This means that a significant portion of your fleet becomes unable to work in the morning.

Tank Cap and Tank Neck (Anti-Siphon Protection)
When experienced thieves realize that the tank cap is protected they start looking for an alternative and weaker point. In bus midibus and minibus tanks this weak link is usually the fuel float area. This sensitive part which measures the fuel level of the vehicle is generally located at the top of the tank in a relatively less protected area and can be easily accessed by removing a few screws. By removing or breaking the float from its place thieves gain direct access to the inside of the tank and can quickly withdraw fuel from here. Moreover this intervention causes high repair costs for the fleet owner in addition to the cost of the theft by causing the float to malfunction.
Anticipating this critical vulnerability Fuel Guard offers steel protection covers and locking systems specially designed for the float area. This secure cover is mounted over the float and completely seals this upper part of the tank against external interventions. Thus even if the tank cap is secure theft attempts that can be made through the float also result in failure
Fuel Float
When experienced fuel thieves realize that the tank cap is protected with high security Fuel Guard systems they naturally search for an alternative and weaker access point. In bus midibus and minibus tanks this potential weak link is usually the fuel float area. This part is a sensitive sensor that measures the fuel level of the vehicle and it is generally located at the top of the tank in a relatively less protected area and can be easily accessed by removing a few screws due to its standard installation.
Thieves target removing or breaking the float from its place by taking advantage of this vulnerability. This intervention opens a direct and wide access path into the tank and provides the opportunity to quickly drain fuel from this point. This type of theft attempt not only results in fuel loss but also causes the float to malfunction or permanent damage to the tank creating high repair and spare part costs for the fleet owner in addition to the cost of the theft.
Anticipating this critical security gap Fuel Guard offers an additional layer of protection targeting specifically the float area. This solution consists of specially designed steel protection covers and locking systems mounted over the float. This secure cover completely closes the area around the float sensor and thus protects this sensitive region at the top of the tank against external interventions and forcing. Thus while the tank cap is kept safe with Anti Siphon technology potential theft and sabotage attempts that can be made from the float area are also strictly prevented.
Under-Tank Fuel Drain Plug
Although fuel theft usually focuses on the first two methods such as the tank cap and float another method that is often overlooked but has the most devastating results is draining through the discharge plug under the tank. Every fuel tank has a discharge plug placed for maintenance and cleaning processes. Professional and experienced thieves can get under the vehicle in unsecured park areas or during overnight stays to unscrew this standard discharge plug in a short time and drain the entire tank from this critical point.
This method is an extremely serious risk because of both the short duration of the theft and the fact that it allows a high amount of fuel to be stolen. Moreover detecting this type of intervention can be more difficult than other methods. Fuel Guard has developed special security solutions for the discharge plugs of buses minibuses and midibuses to eliminate this extremely important and serious risk.
These security solutions include locked plugs that replace the standard discharge plug of the vehicle and are equipped with special keys codes or designs that make external intervention impossible. These renewed plugs completely block the attempt to unscrew them easily with standard tools by thieves. Additionally some Fuel Guard system models completely seal access to this area physically by mounting an additional steel protection cover over the plug. Thanks to these systems the risk of draining from the bottom is reduced to zero and thus the fuel tanks of commercial vehicles are put under 360 degree protection against all possible entry points of theft.
Frequently Asked Questions
for Fuel Tank Security in Bus Midibus and Minibus Passenger Vehicles
Do You Have Solutions Suitable for Large and Different Tank Necks of Buses
Yes. We have models specially designed for the large volumes of intercity buses and different tank diameters of midibuses and minibuses. Our products which provide 100 percent compatibility according to the vehicle model and tank neck diameter do not require any modification to the original structure of the vehicle during installation.
Is It Resistant to Vandalism and Forcing in Terminals and Rest Areas
Yes. Passenger vehicles remain unsupervised more often in areas open to the public. Fuel Guard is produced from reinforced steel alloys that can withstand the harshest interventions. Physical breaking or dismantling is practically impossible. This is not just a protection but a powerful deterrent that keeps thieves away.
Does the Filtering Feature of the System Protect the Engine from Foreign Substances
Absolutely. Fuel Guard prevents fuel theft and also stops water dirt dust or foreign substances intended for sabotage from entering through the tank neck. This protection directly supports passenger safety by significantly reducing the risk of failure in the expensive engines and injection systems of buses.
