Fuel theft is spotted by monitoring the actual tank level, not just pump receipts. A probe measures fuel continuously and triggers an alert as soon as an abnormal drop occurs, with the time, place and amount taken.

Three theft scenarios Fleeti stops in Africa

Theft takes concrete forms in the field in Africa. Here are three common situations Fleeti helps detect and stop.

Siphoning from a long-haul truck

On a cross-border route, a truck's tank drops by several dozen litres while parked overnight. The probe detects the drop, the alert goes out with the position, and the driver and fleet manager react immediately.

Your questions about fuel and asset theft

How do you detect and stop fuel theft in a fleet?
Fuel theft is detected by monitoring the actual tank level, not just pump transactions. A fuel probe measures volume continuously: as soon as an abnormal drop is spotted, whether the engine is off or the vehicle is moving, a real-time alert is sent with the time, GPS position and amount taken. By cross-checking this measurement with fuel invoices and kilometres driven, Fleeti highlights every gap. You stop theft by reacting immediately rather than discovering the loss at month-end.
How does a connected fuel probe detect siphoning?
A capacitive fuel probe connected to the platform continuously measures the actual level in the tank. Siphoning shows up as a rapid, unexplained drop, usually when the vehicle is parked with the engine off. The probe detects this abnormal change and the platform distinguishes it from normal consumption while driving. Unlike a fuel card, which only sees what is paid at the pump, or the engine computer alone, the probe sees what actually disappears from the tank. And if someone tries to disconnect the probe, the signal loss itself triggers an alert.
Can a stolen construction machine be located, even with the engine off?
Yes. Every equipped machine is tracked, and a security zone, or geofence, can be set around each site. Any movement outside working hours, including when the machine is towed or loaded with the engine off, triggers a real-time alert. Depending on the equipment, a self-powered device keeps tracking even when the machine's power is cut. After a theft, the last known position and route taken quickly guide your response and the police.
Why is fuel theft a major issue for fleets in Africa?
In Africa, fuel is a high cost and a strategic asset, often stored in large quantities at sometimes remote sites. Siphoning, whether by an outsider or an employee, easily goes unnoticed on a large tank or unequipped storage tank. Generators and storage tanks powering sites are as exposed as trucks. Add patchy network coverage and equipment moving between countries. A fleet management solution built for French-speaking Africa, which stores data offline and monitors every fuel source, makes a real difference.
How much does a company really lose to fuel and asset theft?
The real cost far exceeds the value of the missing fuel or machine. Fuel accounts for 20 to 40% of a fleet's operating costs depending on the activity, and stolen fuel is rarely covered by insurance: it is a straight loss. Add vehicle downtime, delayed projects, paperwork and time spent on internal investigations. As for assets, a large share of stolen machinery is never recovered. By controlling fuel and securing assets, companies that manage their fleet with Fleeti take back control of these losses and cut their fuel budget by up to 15%.
