Quality Selection Of Semi Truck Fuel Tank Caps

Shop For Fuel Tank Caps And Covers From Iowa 80

Feeding the beast is a regular part of a professional driver’s life. Unlike a car, you can’t just gas up and go; you’ll be interacting with your fuel cap hundreds of times in a typical year. Depending on where you drive, you may choose a semi truck fuel cap with a locking mechanism, anti-siphoning device or a standard cap. Whatever you choose, pick one that matches your needs and is uniquely you.

Locking Caps Are Becoming Standard

When you have hundreds of dollars worth of unguarded fuel, that can be a huge temptation, especially in areas notable for theft. With the average year seeing fuel spending around $70,000, it’s likely the largest contributor to your expenses. Most rigs are eventually going to spend the night in a risky area, so it probably pays off to secure your fuel. Using either locking fuel caps for semi trucks or an anti-siphoning device is usually recommended by experts, although for some drivers it may be more of a hassle than it’s worth. Anti-theft systems not only deter thieves, they tend to keep honest people honest; sometimes it’s better to avoid tempting people rather than relying on their ability to resist it.

Vented Fuel Caps

Your tanks must be vented for proper functioning. If you don’t have a vent system – or if it isn’t working properly – make sure to install a vented cap. We have many different caps covering a wide variety of needs, from a 2 inch locking fuel cap to 4 inch vented – and many, many more. We also have other hardware, such as gaskets and lock-on fuel cap covers.
