Why This Truck Is a Target
- The factory cap on a Ford F-550 is fully exposed — no lock, no cover.
- A forestry body build parks outside overnight where siphoning happens.
- One siphoning event costs $500 to $1,000 in fuel plus lost work hours.
- Contamination — sugar, water, dirt — can destroy an entire fuel system.

Knapheide Forestry Body — Common Questions
Does the Work Truck Fuel Vault fit a 2012–2026 Knapheide Forestry Body?
Yes. The Forestry Body uses dual exposed caps (fuel + def). The recommended fit is the Small Fuel Vault door. Tree care and line-clearance fleets.
How many doors do I need for a Knapheide Forestry Body?
Most Forestry Body builds need 2 doors — one for the diesel fill and one for the DEF cap. Our 2-pack and 3-pack save money versus buying singles.
Do I have to drill anything?
No. The Fuel Vault bolts on using the existing filler area. No drilling, no cutting, no welding. Basic hand tools, about 15 minutes.
Will it interfere with my service body or upfit?
The Fuel Vault mounts to the chassis fuel filler area, not the body. It does not interfere with compartments, shelving, cranes, or racks on a forestry body build.
