Was going to say the same thing ... I love BBQ fuel ... my fiancee wishes that she could get it on the Territory ... damn it costs a bit to fill that tank compared to mine.

i dont think we're quite at the stage of seeing anybody stealing fuel from parked cars, either way the flap on the focus can only be opened with the key :voldar02: .

My son in law sells satellite tracking systems for trucking fleets and one of his customers on the south coast has a fleet of fuel tankers.
About 3wks after having them installed one of his tankers goes missing so he calls my son in law and wants to know where it is.
Steve tells him at the moment its travelling north through southern Sydney so the owner calls the cops and they decide not to pull it over, just tail it from a distance and see where its going.
Tanker goes all the way to Newcastle where he pulls into the refinery and loads 45000 ltrs of diesel then heads back down the coast, all the while cops are watching and following. Pulls into a truckstop down past Nowra somewhere and drops off the fuel, thats when the cops turn up and busted the dude for pinching the truck and stealing fuel,the guy at the refinery for false paperwork and also the truckstop owner for receiving stolen goods.
Dickheads deserved everything they got :
