Floating Ball Anti Syphon Device From aide automtoive

With many years of experience of fuel theft issues regarding commercial vehicles, aide automotive is pleased to add a new product to prevent and stop fuel theft!

Tank Guard is designed to work in conjunction with your existing security devices such as locking fuel cap or anti-syphon device.

For simplicity of use, the Tank Guard will automatically arm after the ignition has been switched off for sixty seconds. Thereafter the ACTIVE DETERRENT will flash the strobe for seven seconds every minute in order to warn off potential thieves. This proven technique in crime reduction can have the effect of reducing the likely-hood of attack in the vehicle by at least eight fold!

Tank Guard also has sophisticated sensor fitted externally in a discreet location on the outside of the fuel tank. If thieves attempt to remove the locked cap, or jemmy out the sender unit or in any way attack the tank then the Tank Guard alarm will be activated. This will result in a 114 decibel siren or voice alarm giving a deafening warning along with a high intensity flashing strobe to drive the thieves away.

Tank Guard is a relatively easy aftermarket installation with the option of adding a second sensor for dual tank trucks.

Matthew Burke aide automotive’s sales director stated ” With marketing and selling anti syphon devices for 10 years to great effect in preventing fuel theft, truck operators have always requested further security around the tank, with this we believe the adding of a Tank Guard to a truck as well as an anti syphon device will 95 % prevent fuel theft and save hauliers hundreds if not thousands pounds. We have reviewed over many years alarm devices but until now could not find the cost affordable technology to make a product suitable for the market, with the cost of a Tank Guard at less than a third of a tank of fuel we believe this now is a product that truck operators can cost effectively purchase to protect against fuel theft.”

Tank Guard can be installed by a competent internal staff or an outsourced auto electrician.

With the high cost of diesel and increased diesel theft incidents, aide automoitve are to introduce a new truck anti syphon device.

FuelKeep Value is a strong high quality device for the larger truck tanks such as Mercedes, Iveco, DAF, Volvo and many buses and coaches with the larger 80 mm filler neck and bayonet cap.

 A survey by the Road Haulage Association(RHA) saw six in 10 respondents (58.2%) say they have been victims of fuel theftin the last 12 months. The trade body said it undertook the survey of 151 members in response to a sharp increase in the number of fuel thefts reported.

The RHA survey has revealed there has been a hike in the number of thefts in the region of 1,000-1,500litres, compared to the average 100-600litres that is normally targeted.

David McMurray, MD of Accrington, Lancs-based McMurrays Haulage, says: “I can confirm we have been targeted a handful of times so far in 2011. It has been a problem for the industry for a long time, but fuel is becoming like liquid gold-dust, so I’m not surprised to hear the number of incidents has risen again.”

With the new FuelKeep Value a large or small fleet can secure fuel tanks at an economical price. For the premium device called TP Anti Syph click on TP Anti Syph.

Following many calls to protect cars from fuel theft, we can offer a solution as described below:

The Conical Spring has been used to great effect within the light commercial sector for many years, this device is the only reasonable solution we can offer the car market.

This email will in best describe the product  / system so that you can make your own judgemental view if the spring will suit your car or requirements. aide automotive do not offer any refund or returns policy if this product does not work for your particular vehicle.

We firstly advise you to review  with your local garage or manufacturer if the Conical spring can be fitted to the fuel neck  / entry to the fuel tank. The Spring is supplied 360 mm in length, this can be cut down to a required length.

As it’s a conical spring the end diameter is 55mm. See attached document for a picture.

The idea is that the spring is sent into the filler neck and lodges when the diameter is larger than the internal diameter of the filler neck, the spring will sit tight tin the neck making very hard to be removed. As it’s a curled spring fuel will be able to flow into the tank while re fuelling.

Once you have decided the correct amount of spring to be used any excess is cut off with a practical saw.

Examples of use –

Ford Transit – The whole spring is pushed into the neck until full compression, a small amount is cut off and the spring is lodged behind the entry.

Iveco Daily – A small amount of the spring was used to be situated at the entry to the fuel tank in the plastic pipe.

Landrover  Defender – Roughly half the spring was used and pushed into the entry, compressing and holding in place.

Once you have discussed this with a car garage or your manufacturer and if you wish to purchase we can take payment via credit  or debit cards.

We hope this helps and please if you do proceed offer feedback on fitting or use.
