ELIMINATES FUEL THEFT
BOA Fuel Locks are a proven theft deterrence device that will save you fuel and money. This is a secure device that offers the highest degree of theft prevention with its patented design and secured locking system. The BOA Fuel Lock prevents fuel thieves from siphoning out your fuel, and prevents employees from stealing your fuel to put in their trucks (approx. 25% of all fuel theft is from employees taking 10 to 20 gallons at a time).
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
First, the BOA Fuel Lock will eliminate the costs you incur in stolen fuel. With equipment that hold between 30-300 gallons of diesel fuel, and with the ever volatile costs of fuel, one fuel theft on one piece of equipment can cost you up to $1,200 in stolen fuel.
Second, you eliminate the loss of downtime and refuelling costs. If you have a piece of equipment that is down for two hours while you are waiting to refuel it, that’s two hours of production lost and additional refuelling costs that affect the bottom-line.
Third, you eliminate potential repair costs. When the equipment won’t start, sometimes an operator will burn out the starter or drain the battery. If the equipment does start, debris from the bottom of the tank can be carried through the fuel lines and damage lift pumps or fuel injectors. If someone vandalizes the equipment by throwing debris into the tank, the tank would need to be drained and cleaned. All of these repairs can cost be costly.
PROTECTS THE ENTIRE FUEL NECK AND CAP
The BOA Fuel Lock completely prevents access to the fuel cap and neck, unlike a locking cap or anti-siphon insert. It is welded onto the body of the equipment/tank (we carry both steel and aluminum necks) and the stem completely secures access to the fuel system.
ONE-TIME PURCHASE (WILL OUTLAST THE LIFE OF THE MACHINE)
The BOA Fuel Lock is a one-time purchase and will last as long as your equipment will! Once it is installed, you do not need to worry about fuel theft from your equipment anymore! The BOA Fuel Lock (and American Lock) both come with a limited life-time warranty.
PROTECTED WITH AMERICAN LOCK (MASTER LOCK)
We use one of the most secure locks in the world –American Lock’s 2000 Series Professional lock. This lock is a single body, solid die-cast padlock reinforced with anti-saw pins. It is hidden shackle, hockey-puck style lock. With no external shackle, it cannot be attacked by using bolt cutters. The locks can be keyed separately, or keyed alike, and cannot be picked or drilled.
American Lock is the commercial division of Master Lock – the best known lock in the world.
PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT BY PREVENTING FUEL SPILLAGE
Studies show there is a negative environmental impact caused by diesel fuel spills. When someone siphons a tank, there is usually spillage of fuel on the ground. Sometimes fuelers might spill fuel on the ground when refueling equipment. With the BOA Fuel Lock covering the entire neck and cap, it contains fuel spillage and prevents ground contamination.
NO NEED TO SHORT-FILL FUEL TANKS
To minimize the amount of fuel stolen from equipment, many companies have resorted to partially filling fuel tanks. While this may decrease the amount of fuel stolen, it increases the cost of fuelling the equipment (more frequent fueling) and may lead to higher maintenance costs (debris in the fuel lines when running the tank so low). With the BOA Fuel Lock, you can once again top-off your tank.
