MrCanary Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Not sure if it is a problem in France, but in the UK there is a dramatic increase in cases of theft of diesel from cars & commercial vehicles. The thieves are achieving it by many different means: Breaking into the locked caps and attempting to syphon (many new'ish cars have anti-syphoning devices fitted); cutting through pipes under the car and draining the fuel; and in at least one case, drilling holes in the bottom of the fuel tank to drain the diesel.Forewarned is forearmed - so think about where you leave your diesel vehicles - especially in the dear old UK!!

Cat Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 There was a French news report about this a couple of weeks ago. It's mainly lorries that are being targeted here, as the large volume of diesel makes syphoning so much more worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
