This just happened to our 4X4
This just happened to our 4X4 diesel truck, last night 9/30/12. I know that a car running out of gas is frustrating and can cause damage to the fuel pumps, filter etc. However the danger is more serious to a deisel. Our vehicle was parked in a well lit area...I guess we just helped by giving them some light to do their damage. A Tank for our truck is $700.00, not to mention the labor, and $120.00 in fuel cost. Plus both us down one day from work to call police and insurance, and wait for tow as well as getting a rental car. We are in California so the EPA demands that the fire department is dispatched first for any leaking fuel, before it can be towed or moved and before police will come make a report. Does anyone know of some kind of plate or something to place under the vehicle to at least deture this kind of activity from happening?
