Road Sweeper and Washing
Vehicle Diesel Tank Security Solutions

Road sweeper and washing vehicles generally operate in the city center or on main arteries late at night and in the early morning hours; after duty, they remain parked in garages or construction site areas. By protecting the compact but high-consumption tanks of these vehicles with anti-siphon modules and complete tank security sets, FuelGuard prevents fuel theft attempts that may occur during night parking and protects the fuel expenses of the municipality's cleaning services.

Fuel Guard Diesel Tank Protection Solutions for
Road Sweeper and Washing Sector Vehicles

Road sweeper and washing vehicles are special-purpose work machines used in municipal services that are of critical importance for the cleanliness and order of cities. These vehicles perform duties in the city center or on main arteries late at night and in the early morning hours when traffic is light. Due to continuous movement, high idling times, and the operation of specialized equipment, their fuel consumption is in the operationally high-consumption category, even if their tank volumes are compact. After completing their duties, these vehicles generally remain parked in garages or construction site areas where supervision is reduced. This situation creates a major security vulnerability against diesel theft attempts that may occur during night parking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Fuel Guard Also Protect the Fuel That Powers the Sweeping Equipment in Road Sweeper Vehicles?

Yes. In road sweeper and washing vehicles, there may be separate tanks containing the fuel used to operate specialized equipment such as sweeping brushes, vacuum, and water pump systems, or auxiliary motors fed from the main tank. Fuel Guard systems can be adapted to secure the fuel supply points of these specialized pieces of equipment.

When Does the Risk of Theft Arise Since These Vehicles Generally Operate at Night and in the Early Hours?

The risk of theft generally arises during time intervals when vehicles remain parked together in garages at the end of a shift or during duty changes, or when they are parked for a long time in areas open to the public. Fuel Guard provides continuous protection by physically preventing external interference with the tank during these low-supervision hours.
