Side-Mount Tank. Fully Exposed Filler
L6 • L7 • M5 • S5 • 268
Hino cab-over and conventional medium-duty trucks run side-mount tanks with a fully exposed filler cap. The Work Truck Fuel Vault adds an armored, locking door — and a second door for DEF on the L6 and L7.
Founders Edition pricing — starting at $159.95 (Save up to $110 on the 3-Pack) · Security screws included
Hino Builds the Truck — Not the Fuel Lock
Hino commercial trucks leave the factory as incomplete chassis. The body builder finishes the truck, and nobody adds a lock to the fuel filler.
- Side-mount tanks leave the fuel filler fully exposed
- L6 and L7 add an exposed DEF filler next to the diesel
- Box, stake and dump trucks park loaded overnight
- Locking gas caps are defeated in seconds
- DEF contamination can derate the engine
- Legacy 268 fleets are still on the road with no fuel security
The Locking Fuel Door for Your Hino Truck
The Work Truck Fuel Vault is an armored, locking fuel door that bolts on at the filler. It covers the whole fill area, not just the cap.
- Armored locking door over the filler
- Large door for L6, L7 and 268; Small door for M5 and S5
- Second door locks the DEF filler on L6 and L7
- Bolt-on install in 8–15 minutes
- Tamper-resistant security screws included with every door
- Limited Lifetime Warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee
The Part The Factory Forgot
The Work Truck Fuel Vault is an armored, locking fuel door that covers the entire fuel access area on your work truck. No more exposed caps. No more easy targets.
Why Didn't This Exist Before?
Despite billions lost to fuel theft every year, nobody built a real solution for commercial work trucks. Here's why.
"Good Enough" Thinking
The industry defaulted to cheap aftermarket locking gas caps. A $15 key-locked cap was considered good enough — until thieves proved otherwise with a pair of pliers.
Upfitters Focus on the Body, Not the Cap
Manufacturers like Knapheide and Reading engineer every compartment lock on the service body — but the chassis fuel pocket belongs to Ford or Ram. Nobody owned the gap.
The Zero-Drill Engineering Problem
Consumer billet doors are made for flat pickup beds. The recessed fuel pocket on a commercial chassis is a completely different geometry — and drilling risks voiding the chassis warranty.
The Cost Was Just "Absorbed"
Fleets treated fuel theft like weather damage. A $500 siphoning hit got buried in operating expenses. Without a purpose-built product available, the problem was simply accepted.
The Work Truck Fuel Vault is the industry's first drop-in armored fuel door that uses existing factory mounting points. No drilling. No cutting. No warranty risk.
