New fuel anti-siphon device launched - and wins award.

TruckProtect has launched what it says is the ultimate fuel-anti siphon device and won the KillSpillsSafety Award for 2009.  TruckProtect has applied for patents for its Ultimate NeckIt!, which has a unique Fuel Anti-Spill Valve within its world-leading anti-siphon.  Importantly, the valve can be retrofitted into existing devices.  "This will interest all companies with CSR commitments - it stops spillages, can save lives and prevents fuel theft," says Russell Fowler, CEO at TruckProtect.

"It also puts paid to any spurious anti-spillage claims within the sector"

Week 35, Monday 24th August 2009

TruckProtect just launched Neck-It! Van after successful field tests.  The firm says this is the only fuel anti-siphon device designed for vans.  Available initially for pre-2008 Sprinters, the chromed steel Neck-It! Van unit uses the familiar and proven security assembly.  It allows refuelling at normal forecourt speeds, with no splash-back.  "Judging from customer feedback van fuel theft, either by the tankful or simple regular skimming is a growing problem," says Russell Fowler, CEO at TruckProtect Ltd.  "Whether parked outside private houses at night, or in a depot, diesel vans offer a huge opportunity for fuel thieves."  The unit costs £34 and there are fleet discounts available.

New locking caps for AdBlue/DEF tanks PDF Print E-mail

TruckProtect has launched what it says is Europe's only non-corrodible locking AdBlue/DEF caps for commercial vehicles.  "Even the smallest amount of contamination in an AdBlue/DEF tank can cost over £2,000 to remedy, so a locking cap is essential," said Russell Fowler, CEO, TruckProtect.  "AdBlue/DEF is very corrosive and has caused problems with previously available locking caps, but ours are guaranteed to last."  The firm's range of three models fit all major commercial vehicles.  "A small cost now will save operators vast amounts.  Already the caps are flying off the shelves"
