TruckProtect just launched Neck-It! Van after successful field tests.  The firm says this is the only fuel anti-siphon device designed for vans.  Available initially for pre-2008 Sprinters, the chromed steel Neck-It! Van unit uses the familiar and proven security assembly.  It allows refuelling at normal forecourt speeds, with no splash-back.  "Judging from customer feedback van fuel theft, either by the tankful or simple regular skimming is a growing problem," says Russell Fowler, CEO at TruckProtect Ltd.  "Whether parked outside private houses at night, or in a depot, diesel vans offer a huge opportunity for fuel thieves."  The unit costs £34 and there are fleet discounts available.
