Fuel Tank Security Solutions
for Construction and Site Equipment
Construction and site machinery work actively in the field throughout the day and often remain parked in open and unprotected areas at night. Fuel Guard stops operator-related abuses and external interventions in the field by securing the fuel tank inlets and bottom drain/float areas of machines such as excavators and loaders with special apparatus. Thus, both site costs are kept under control and fuel consumption is monitored with real data.
Fuel Guard Fuel Tank Protection Solutions for
Construction and Site Equipment Sector Vehicles
Construction and mining machinery are under serious risk of fuel theft as they are often parked in remote areas with limited supervision. Protecting the tanks of high-fuel-capacity vehicles such as excavators, dozers, and loaders is vital for keeping project costs under control. At this point, fuel tank security systems come into play, closing security gaps at construction sites and protecting vehicles against unauthorized interference.

How Does Fuel Guard Benefit Your Business by Protecting the Fuel Tank Security
of Your Vehicles in the Construction and Heavy Equipment Sector?
- Construction machinery is usually parked in unsecured and remote areas. Fuel Guard makes fuel theft attempts physically impossible in locations without night guards by protecting the tank neck, float sensor inlet, and bottom plugs like "armor".
- The massive fuel tanks of excavators and dozers are highly vulnerable to internal abuse, such as "siphoning fuel with canisters" by operators or field personnel. The system blocks unauthorized access to the fuel tank, allowing only filling and eliminating "invisible" fuel losses within the site.
- The heavy dust, mud, and high-vibration environment of construction sites can damage standard caps. With a fuel security kit specifically developed for heavy machinery and resistant to harsh conditions, Fuel Guard protects fuel quality and ensures long-term fuel tank security without the locking mechanism breaking down.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Risk of Fuel Theft Highest at Construction Sites, and How Does Fuel Guard Prevent This?
The risk of theft is highest during night hours, weekends, and public holidays when heavy machinery is not operating and site security is reduced. Since Fuel Guard physically prevents a hose from being inserted into the machine's fuel tank, it provides continuous and passive protection even during these low-supervision periods.
Can a Single Type of Fuel Guard Be Used for Different Types of Heavy Machinery (Excavator, Backhoe Loader, Dozer)?
Generally, no. Every heavy machine varies in brand, model, tank neck diameter, and design. For maximum security and sealing, Fuel Guard manufacturers offer specially designed models that are fully compatible with each machine type. This also guarantees that no issues occur during fuel refilling after installation.
Does Fuel Guard Provide Any Alarm If the Machine Tank Cap Is Opened or Forced?
The Fuel Guard anti-siphon device is a passive and physical barrier on its own. However, when integrated with locking cap solutions and storage telematics systems, it can instantly send an alarm to the fleet manager in the event of the tank cap being forced open or an abnormal drop in fuel level while the engine is off.
