Fuel Theft Solutions

After working in the logistics industry for the last fifteen years we have watched the operating costs increase to alarming levels.

One of the main issues affecting the industry is fuel theft. Diesel Dye is a fuel marking system that allows traceability of fuel.
With rising costs, no operator can afford any amount of fuel theft, whatever the size of his fleet.

Unfortunately one of the rapidly rising issues in this field is internal fuel theft, which accounts for the majority of fuel theft each year.
Diesel Dye is a visible marking system which will assist in the fight against fuel theft. Dieseldye can also be used as an ideal and cost effective covert marker in the fight against diesel theft.

Many companies have marketed anti-syphon devices that assist in the prevention of fuel theft; however, this can be easily overcome by dropping a pipe into the tank via the sender unit thus showing no apparent entry or fuel theft.

Most companies believe that they have addressed the issue of diesel theft by implementing anti-syphon units, sender unit cover or drain locks, all of which are useful tools and preventative measures; however if the person taking the fuel has control of the fuel pump, the fuel can be diverted for their gain. By using Dieseldye, you are protecting the fuel not the container.

Another means of fuel theft even with the use of an anti-syphon device is to overfill the tank which in turn will allow the “SKIMMING” of fuel.
Over filling can allow up to 15 % of the tank to be “skimmed” enabling fuel theft without detection.

Diesel Dye marks all fuel.

Diesel Dye, when added to the stock tank, will mark all fuel with a ratio of 40,000 :1 this can be increased by as much as 85000:1 for minor trace, in addition to this we recommend that “DIESEL DYE” decals be placed on the internal dashboard and also on the tank to warn of fuel traceability, these decals are manufactured on 7 year quality vinyl and are tailored to client specification.

It is illegal to attempt to impede the identification of a pre marked fuel (rebated) in accordance with the Hydrocarbon Oil Marketing Regulations 2002 14.3

Fuel Theft Solutions do not support or encourage the use of Diesel Dye with rebated fuels.
