Fuel thieves drain diesel from parked motorhomes by damaging tanks

Rising diesel prices, which hit a record high in the Netherlands in 2026, have led to an increase in fuel theft from parked motorhomes, vans and trucks. Thieves increasingly bypass the fuel cap and damage the tank itself to siphon off dozens of litres. Owners face additional costs for tank repair or replacement, which can exceed the value of the stolen fuel.
