KIRKLAND, Wash., February 19, 2009 – Kenworth Truck Company now offers a tamper-resistant, durable, metal anti-siphoning device as standard on all Kenworth Class 8 vehicles specified with round diesel fuel tanks.
The anti-siphon device, which is located on the tank filler neck, features a robust tamper-resistant heavy metal barrier that is a quarter-inch thick. The design, however, does not slow down the refueling process.
“Truck fleets and owner-operators work hard to run profitable operations. Kenworth is pleased to offer the strong and durable anti-siphon device as a standard feature on all its Class 8 trucks with round fuel tanks to help customers keep more of their hard-earned money,” said Gary Moore, Kenworth assistant general manager for marketing and sales.
