This video explains the ways of fuel theft, including:
1. *Siphoning from Tanks:* Thieves use hoses or pumps to siphon fuel directly from vehicles' fuel tanks, especially in parked or unattended vehicles.
2. *Unauthorized Fuel Card Use:* Employees or unauthorized individuals misuse fuel cards or access codes to acquire fuel for personal use.
3. *Tampering with Fuel Systems:* Altering fuel lines, such as the fuel return pipe, to redirect fuel for personal use without authorization.
4. *False Fill-ups:* Inaccurate reporting of fueling events or exaggerated fuel consumption to obtain additional fuel.
Also effective ways to avoid fuel theft and increase fuel consumption efficiency.
1 Avoid abnormal fuel usage, like fuel theft, fuel leak, fuel misuse and tamper of engine fuel system. A tank of fuel can cost more than hundreds of dollars, any abuse of fuel can lead to great loss to the vehicle owner not to mention a company with dozens or hundreds of trucks.
2 Reduce fuel consumption per 100KM
If a truck current 100KM fuel consumption is 40L, and it runs 500KM a day. We can do all the possible solutions to reduce it by having an aim to make it 39L per 100KM. In a year, see the vehicle runs 300 days, it can save 500*300/100*(40-39)=1500L. Image how much 1500L costs? And if there are 10 or 100 trucks?
