Locked Body. Unlocked Fuel.

Knapheide builds the best locked service bodies in the industry. But the fuel cap isn\'t on the body — it\'s on the chassis. And the chassis has no lock.

  • Every Knapheide compartment locks — the fuel cap doesn't
  • The fuel cap is on the Ford/Ram chassis, not the Knapheide body
  • Ford and Ram provide zero fuel cap security on chassis cabs
  • An unlocked fuel cap is the biggest security gap on your Knapheide truck
  • Fuel theft, siphoning, and contamination are constant risks
  • Locking gas caps don't match Knapheide's security standard

Now the Fuel Cap Locks Too

The Fuel Vault adds a real lock to the fuel cap area on your Knapheide truck. Armored door, tumbler lock, security torx — it finally matches the security of your Knapheide body.

  • Armored locking door over the fuel cap and filler area
  • Tumbler lock + security torx — matches Knapheide body lock quality
  • Full coverage — cap, filler neck, and access area all locked
  • Zero interference with Knapheide compartments or doors
  • Bolt-on in 8–15 minutes — no drilling or cutting
  • Made in the USA with Limited Lifetime Warranty

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I lock the fuel cap on my Knapheide truck?

The Work Truck Fuel Vault is the armored locking fuel door that covers and locks the entire fuel filler area on the Ford or Ram chassis under your Knapheide body. Bolt-on install in 8–15 minutes.

Why doesn't my Knapheide truck have a fuel cap lock?

The fuel cap is on the Ford or Ram chassis — not the Knapheide body. Ford and Ram don't include any fuel cap lock or fuel door on chassis cab trucks.

Is a locking cap enough?

For a premium Knapheide truck, no. Locking caps are defeated in seconds and only cover the cap. The Fuel Vault covers the entire filler area with armored protection.

Does it work with all Knapheide body types?

Yes — KnapService, KUVcc, Utility, Forestry, Crane, Mechanics, Platform, and Stake bodies. The Fuel Vault mounts to the chassis, not the body.

How does it install?

Bolt-on in 8–15 minutes. No drilling, cutting, or body modifications.
