Fuel and Heating Oil Security

Fuel and Heating Oil Security

It’s nearing that time of year again when traditionally we see an increase in reports of heating oil and diesel fuel thefts. Please follow these simple steps to secure your tanks.

Where possible, please keep fuel tanks locked up and alarmed.

Consider installing tanks within a secure building or cage. If it’s not possible to keep your tank inside a building, consider planting spiky shrubs and fencing to hide your tank and surround the area around the tank with gravel.

Install an anti-syphon device and install motion sensing CCTV and lighting. CCTV can now be linked to your phone, giving you piece of mind and real time alerts at any time of the day or night.
