Does the BOA Fuel Lock replace the existing fuel cap?

No. The BOA Fuel Lock mounts onto the piece of equipment and covers the entire fuel neck and fuel cap. It protects the existing cap but does not replace it. When the BOA Fuel Lock is opened, the fuel cap becomes accessible.

How are the BOA Fuel Locks installed?

The stem on the BOA Fuel Lock is spot-welded to the piece of equipment it is protecting. In some cases, the stem may need to be cut-down, beveled, or notched. Make sure you order the correct stem material (steel if welding on a steel surface, aluminum if welding on an aluminum surface). We strongly recommend that you use a Certified Welder with experience working around fuel tanks to install the BOA Fuel Lock.

Do you provide installation?

We do not offer installation services.

How are the BOA Fuel Locks different from other products?

The BOA Fuel Lock is not a locking cap that fits on the fuel neck. Since it is welded to the actual piece of equipment, it protects the entire fuel neck and fuel cap, and offers a higher-degree of security. Just the looks of the BOA Fuel Lock are a deterrent - our standard size weighs over 14 lbs and conveys security.

What if I lose my key?

We provide two keys per lock if keyed differently, or one key per lock (up to 10 keys per order) if keyed alike. If you need a replacement, we can have a new one to you within 24 hours. If you need immediate access to the lock, you can contact a Master Lock certified locksmith. The American Lock Series 2000 cannot be drilled out.

How do you prevent debris from getting into the padlock on the BOA Fuel Lock?

All BOA Fuel Locks come with a tethered dust cover. The cover slips over the padlock protecting it from debris. The cover is easy to slip on and off, or may be removed completely from the BOA Fuel Lock.

Does using the BOA Fuel Lock slow down the fueling process?

The BOA Fuel Lock takes between 10 to 15 seconds to open and close. You can view the video on our home page to see how easy it is.

Will the BOA Fuel Lock fit on all of my equipment?

The BOA Fuel Lock will fit on most pieces of equipment that have a steel or aluminum tank. It will not install on plastic tanks. We offer two different stems (one steel, one aluminum) to match the material of your tank.

How does the BOA Fuel Lock prevent fuel spillage and protect the environment?

First, when equipment has gasoline siphoned, there usually is fuel spillage and soil contamination. By preventing fuel theft, there is not fuel spillage from siphoning. Second, when a fueler is filling up a piece of equipment, the BOA Fuel Lock serves as a splash-guard, spill containment system.

What if someone removes the hinge pin? Can the lock be opened?

Even if someone manages to remove the hinge pin, as long as the American Lock padlock is locked in place, the lid cannot be opened.

What colors are available?

The BOA Fuel Lock comes standard in a black matte finish. We offer four other colors - yellow, red, orange, and green. There is a $50 setup fee (regardless of the number of locks ordered) for each color used. Custom colors are available upon request.

How quickly can you deliver?

Typically when ordering a standard size BOA Fuel Lock in our standard black color, we can ship your order within 48 hours.
