Default fuel theft during the winter

because the most boat owners fill up their fuel tank full during the winter.....it's simpel to quess that thieves also know that.......with a smaller hose then our fuel inlet hose and an little pump they will empty your tank untill the last gallon.......but if you install this in your fuel inlet hose......

it's the yellow crown at the top left side of the page

it will never happens to you that your boat won't start the next year because of fuel theft........spend a few dollars and safe hundred off gallons of gas.

greatz, ed

and for all my forum frends who are starting their winter sleep, till next season......i''ll be active all year long.......brrrrrr on thursday we are getting our first snow of this winter

Sorry Ed - your link seems a bit off. I'm seeing faucets and power cords. Is it some sort of locking cap?

FWIW - we have snow here too this morning. It's a mess. City buses sliding backwards and sideways down hills, commutes taking 5x as long, accidents per mile.

I would rather be on the water.

I had my tank drained two years ago. I thought there was a strainer of sorts in the fill line. I have no idea, but I do know that I filled it full, then the next weekend it was empty.
