TankSafe® SealSafe – Secondary Access Protection

TankSafe SealSafe secondary access protection is the ultimate defence against fuel theft through drain plugs, drain valves, and other secondary tank access points.

Even fleets with advanced filler neck protection are vulnerable if thieves can drain fuel directly from the base or secondary openings of the tank. SealSafe stops this attack vector with a precision-engineered, tamper-proof aluminium cover that secures these often-overlooked access points.

Why TankSafe SealSafe secondary access protection is essential

Secondary access points are a quiet, fast, and highly effective theft route for criminals. A single twist of a drain plug can empty a tank in minutes, leaving operators with significant fuel losses and costly downtime. TankSafe SealSafe secondary access protection eliminates this weakness by locking down drain plugs and other points without impacting normal service procedures.

Four key advantages of TankSafe SealSafe secondary access protection

1. Blocks drain-point theft – Prevents thieves from releasing fuel through bottom tank fittings.

2. Fast installation – Fits over existing drain points without modification.

3. Durable construction – Corrosion-resistant aluminium withstands years of service.

4. Maintenance-friendly – Can be removed for authorised servicing without damage.

How TankSafe SealSafe secondary access protection works

SealSafe uses a precision-machined housing that clamps securely over the drain point. Once locked, it forms a solid barrier that cannot be unscrewed without tools and access clearance. The lightweight aluminium design adds protection without adding significant weight or interfering with tank structure.
