[QUOTE="Fuel Tank Protection Co, post: 309548, member: 4969"] According to rural insurer NFU Mutual, its figures for 2012 showed oil theft claims totalled £1.5m and average claims costs were £1,431. An NFU Mutual rural affairs spokesman said: “Theft of red and white diesel account for three-quarters of fuel theft claims, with heating oil accounting for 23% and bottled gas 2%. “The worst affected region of the UK is the South East with 17% of claims, followed by the Home Counties and the West Midlands with 16% each. “Heating oil and red diesel, typically used by farmers to power tractors working the land, are both essential in the countryside. Despite recent falls in fuel prices, fuel thieves are continuing to target farm and domestic fuel tanks – sometimes stealing more than 1,000 litres in a single raid.” [/QUOTE]
