County & municipal fleet managers

How can a county or municipal fleet stop fuel theft on public works trucks?

By The Work Truck Fuel Vault, Sarasota, Florida · Updated October 2026

Short answer

Lock the fill on every public works chassis cab and buy it through your normal purchasing process. The Work Truck Fuel Vault accepts government purchase orders, offers net terms to qualified agencies, provides W-9 and insurance documentation, and is made in Sarasota, Florida — which supports Buy-American preferences.

How counties roll it out

  1. 1Inventory chassis by department (road, parks, water, facilities) and note trucks with exposed DEF caps.
  2. 2Request a formal line-item quote for requisition or board approval.
  3. 3Issue a purchase order; net terms available for qualified agencies.
  4. 4Install in-house at the county shop — 8–15 minutes per truck, no drilling.
  5. 5Prioritize trucks parked at remote yards, satellite garages, and take-home vehicles first.

Why public fleets are exposed

County trucks are parked at satellite yards, road-department sheds, and job sites that are not staffed overnight. Stolen fuel is taxpayer money, and a contaminated tank can sideline a plow or utility truck when it is needed most.
