How to stop fuel theft in your fleet
Fuel is one of the biggest costs in any fleet. Here is how to see where every litre goes.
Where fuel goes missing
- Siphoning from the tank while the vehicle is parked.
- Fuel cards or cash used for more litres than went into the tank.
- Long idling, unofficial trips and detours.
Measure the tank, not the receipt
A fuel level sensor fitted in the tank reports the real fuel level to your tracking account. You see every refuel and every sudden drop, with the time and the place it happened.
Alerts that catch problems early
Set alerts for sudden drops, refuels outside approved stations and long idling. You hear about a problem the same day instead of at the end of the month.
Reports that change behaviour
Weekly fuel, mileage and idle time reports per vehicle and per driver make it clear who is efficient and who is not. Drivers who know fuel is measured behave differently.
Getting started
TMC fits fuel sensors and sets up the reports and alerts in Tracksolid Pro. Start with your heaviest users, compare a month of data, then roll out across the fleet.
Common questions
Does fuel monitoring work on trucks and generators?
Yes. Fuel sensors can be fitted to vehicle tanks and to many generator tanks. Ask our team about your equipment.
Do I need vehicle tracking too?
Fuel data is most useful alongside location, so fuel monitoring usually runs with vehicle tracking on the same account.
