Where did you get this info from? As I am having a hard time figuring out how they could be siphoning fuel, through the pump. With that large hose in the bed, they could use that to drop down into the main tank access point, then siphon out the fuel. This was a big problem, back in the 70's, during the dreaded fuel crisis and rationing. Back then, you even had organized crime using actual fuel tankers, who'd pull into a gas station, like they were making a delivery, but were actually siphoning out thousands of gallons of fuel, in about 20 minutes or so.
Regardless i think charges should be dropped because the cops search their vehicle which im opinion could be seem as potential theft and breaking and entering
MIGHT have gotten away with it if they only did like 25 gallons at 10 different gas stations over time. instead of trying to do it all at once at one location.
Seriously thought at the beginning the car was a blocker and left when the cops showed up, so happy to see the cop tell the bike cop to go after him too.
They got greedy should have done a full tank at a couple different gas stations lol of course they were wondering where the 250 gallons of gas were going in that truck 🤦🏻♀️

They make large capacity tanks that fit in your bed. I have one for my diesel ram . I use it with my Rv. I wouldn't be happy if a cop searched my truck with out a warrant.
So these thieves are stealing overpriced gas while police get taxpayer money to fill up cop cars all while discounted incentives for their personal cars🤔🤔
Pretty much so. Even if they wanted to get it back, the impound fees would be greater than what the truck is worth. But maybe that’s why they had an older truck but wasn’t really that valuable. What I wanna know is how they were intending to siphon it from the underground tank which is what the description shows, the pump on the tank in the bed only pushes fuel out it doesn’t suck it up more than one or 2 feet not the 10 or 15 feet you would need it to siphon from underground.
With such a device and tactic, there must be a bigger ring afoot. My guess is this is happening in several places. If the women confessed with an initial questioning, they are not pros. I'm guessing at least 2 tiers above them.
Seize the truck and car, then give them to the station owner. I hope someone is rolling out something to count every gallon passing through the pump, or at least sensing a vacuum.
Why is everyone saying they a siphoning the gas, if you go to 0:53 seconds you can clearly see they have the gas pump nozzle going into the tank under the rear cover, the are pumping the gas into the tank, not siphoning it. When he opens the back later you can see the tank and the hoses used to unload.

No. It's actually much easier than that. Honest work to get what you want with money you earned only requires honesty. Theft requires an extremely elaborate set of plans, a ton of stress, a mountain of lies that you must remember, and if caught, at least 4-5 figures from hiring a lawyer, etc.

They should really be putting some kind of solenoid valve on these things that only opens once it's authorized. Just seems oddly unprotected. But then again this is probably a new problem
As someone who worked on this equipment for 15 yrs I can tell you they are equipped with just such a device. I'm not sure how they were going about this though!
@@Hunter-yc4xi That's what I was wondering. I don't work on these, I'm a commercial refrigeration tech and I have a good amount of general mechanical knowledge. Just didn't make sense in my head that someone would design these things so flawed. Unless they're authorizing it then bypassing the handle. But there must be some kind of flow sensor to calculate the cost. The whole thing just really doesn't make sense. I am dying to know how these guys pulled it off. Definitely a guy with a decent amount of mechanical knowledge to design such a device and keep it hidden. Gotta be organized crime
I remember when access to your car's gas tank was unprotected. Cigarettes were 17 cents, and gas was too. College was 4000 a year and so was a dodge dart. Well, we have a cabinet post for education and energy now... I wonder if there is a dependent variable there, ..somewhere.?
@@kid31989 Not saying you're wrong, but I have one of the best hilmor vacuum pumps on the market. It isn't capable of pulling a liquid line solenoid open. I actually need to I put a magnet on the body of the valve during evac on systems with solenoids. Otherwise non-condensables can get trapped. It's a 9cfm vacuum pump. Maybe solenoids are weaker on gas pumps vs refrigeration. It just seems weird to me... I would think negative pressure would work with the spring not against it. Then again I have no idea how the pump solenoids are designed.
Probably the employee calling about such a huge amount of fuel going into a truck with a @50 gallon tank. This is the vehicle type that is used so they knew what was happening and alerted police.
use a compressor to create a suction from the gas handle...a strong enough suction will suck gas from the storage unit into their tank in the back of the truck...
Major props to these officers they did an out standing job ! This is beyond impressive how good they responded and fast and smooth . Where we are at its not like these fine folks . Man we need more these officer
I’m just totally bewildered by this theft. 1. You take the time to gather and conceal equipment that can siphon fuel from a gas station. 2. You picked a product that weighs 6 pounds per gallon. So at 250 gallons your looking at a 1,500 pound load. 3. You then presumably re-sell that fuel for say $2.50/gallon?? All that for a whopping $600 bucks! Wow lol you have to be quite a low life PoS to go through all that effort for $600 bucks.
I live in Vegas. We r not very trusting when it comes to matters of money. We know go get that paper first. I was completely baffled when I went to Missouri and they let ‘em pump the gas first then pay?! That’s crazy to me. 🤣
We don't do that in texas. If you're confused about the video all they did was bring their own pump, slide a tube down the hose, and suck the gas through it into their tank.

As someone who worked on this equipment for 15 yrs I can tell you they are equipped with just such a device. I'm not sure how they were going about this though!
@@Hunter-yc4xi That's what I was wondering. I don't work on these, I'm a commercial refrigeration tech and I have a good amount of general mechanical knowledge. Just didn't make sense in my head that someone would design these things so flawed. Unless they're authorizing it then bypassing the handle. But there must be some kind of flow sensor to calculate the cost. The whole thing just really doesn't make sense. I am dying to know how these guys pulled it off. Definitely a guy with a decent amount of mechanical knowledge to design such a device and keep it hidden. Gotta be organized crime
@@AnUnapologeticApologist you overcome the spring pressure on the solenoid with vacuum on the hose.
I remember when access to your car's gas tank was unprotected. Cigarettes were 17 cents, and gas was too. College was 4000 a year and so was a dodge dart. Well, we have a cabinet post for education and energy now... I wonder if there is a dependent variable there, ..somewhere.?
@@kid31989 Not saying you're wrong, but I have one of the best hilmor vacuum pumps on the market. It isn't capable of pulling a liquid line solenoid open. I actually need to I put a magnet on the body of the valve during evac on systems with solenoids. Otherwise non-condensables can get trapped. It's a 9cfm vacuum pump. Maybe solenoids are weaker on gas pumps vs refrigeration. It just seems weird to me... I would think negative pressure would work with the spring not against it. Then again I have no idea how the pump solenoids are designed.
I don’t know how the officer spotted it but, great job 👍
Probably the employee calling about such a huge amount of fuel going into a truck with a @50 gallon tank. This is the vehicle type that is used so they knew what was happening and alerted police.
@@Balthorium o okay thank you.
FILLER UPPPP!!!
I was waiting for 20 Mexicans to jump out when that tail gate came down.
Please elaborate more…I just see a tank in the back of the truck
Someone was saying they somehow created suction with a compressor.
use a compressor to create a suction from the gas handle...a strong enough suction will suck gas from the storage unit into their tank in the back of the truck...
Major props to these officers they did an out standing job ! This is beyond impressive how good they responded and fast and smooth . Where we are at its not like these fine folks . Man we need more these officer
We need less officers, theyre a gang and need to lose qualified immunity as well as a liability insurance to insure they do whata right.
Give em the chair !
How does this work when you have to pay inside or use your card before you can even start pumping?
When gas was so cheap you could fill up before paying!
Good times.
Still do that in some small towns. there is a few around me
@Edwin sucks bro, 😕 they deserve to be punished. The 🐖 🥴😜
I always say, "If these guys would spend half the time they use for thinking up Criminal Ways, on Legal Inventions they'd be Billionaires!
That's what politicians do
Bingo!!! The people who applied it are the corrupt POS that run the world and corporations. Now ur rly effed
It would be nice if we had the full video
Nice job!!!
Unless they stole the truck, I’d say their economic plan was not well thought out..
Could have been bodgy plates
They use a compressor
Agreed. They invested a lot into this scam
I’m just totally bewildered by this theft.
1. You take the time to gather and conceal equipment that can siphon fuel from a gas station.
2. You picked a product that weighs 6 pounds per gallon. So at 250 gallons your looking at a 1,500 pound load.
3. You then presumably re-sell that fuel for say $2.50/gallon??
All that for a whopping $600 bucks! Wow lol you have to be quite a low life PoS to go through all that effort for $600 bucks.
The two women who were doing it were possibly doing it for someone in exchange for drugs.
you wouldnt sell it you would just not buy gas for a while
@@choppaprod exactly! Government stealing from us why not inflation is theft !
UGGHH!!!!
@@Censortubes Highly doubt it!
neat little set up
Where can I get one ?
Siphon functions with gravity. You don’t siphon from an underground tank to a truck.
now i read no one even read the description, haha.
That's right. It would have to be pumped.
@@viasevenvai I never read the description
Agreed, however, The description does also mention a grapevine, which I believe uses a capillary action and would solve the whole gravity issue.
Not if the truck was accused of the crime and it investigates to be true = criminal apprehended
Wouldn’t it be easier and more profitable to “smash and grab” jewelry?😂
Its texas, not a blue state.
@@systematik haha…true!
Well that didn't tell us much...
Why the video cut between the footage ?
This area looks familiar to me. I used to live in Euless right south from there. This is a 7-11 right off of TX highway 121 in Grapevine.
That's most helpful.
It’s right by grapevine mills mall.
@@mycabbages3538 Yep, very close to it. I've been to that mall many of times.
I thought gas was cheap in Tx???
@@mycabbages3538 Wonderful.
I live in Vegas. We r not very trusting when it comes to matters of money. We know go get that paper first. I was completely baffled when I went to Missouri and they let ‘em pump the gas first then pay?! That’s crazy to me. 🤣
@Omar Zazzle yea. We don’t trust fam out here either. 🤣
We don't do that in texas. If you're confused about the video all they did was bring their own pump, slide a tube down the hose, and suck the gas through it into their tank.
Good job boys!
they not tryna pay
