Th opposite end of the plate element includes an open-topped channel parallel .to the end of the plate, the base of the channel Including an aperture for receiving the breather unit therethrough.
  • the side of the channel proximate the plate element includes an arcuate cut-out for accommodating the hose of the breather unit, while the opposite side of the channel includes an aperture for receiving , a fastener for attachment of the second engaging member to the shield.
  • the breather is screwed Into the second inlet of the fuel tank, thereby securing the second engaging member in place.
  • Various washers may be used to ensure the second engaging member Is securely engaged relative the fuel tank.
  • the .shield may comprise an upside down, open-topped box or tray-like type configuration, one end of the box inducing a foot member extending a short distance towards the other end of the box, the foot member including an arcuate slot for engaging the base of the second inlet: the opposite end of the box including on the bottom edges on esther side thereof a hook member.
  • the hooks sre configured to releasably engage slots located In the first engaging member.
  • the bottom edges of the box may be angled to accommodate the slope of the fuel tank to which the anfi ani perlng device is attached.
  • the shield may provide for tubes connected to the sender unit to pass through, whilst engaged.
  • the shield is secured relative the second: engaging means by a securing means.
  • the securing means may be tamper proof, in that it requires a uniquely configured tool to remove the securing means,
  • the securing of the first and second engaging members and the shield elative to each other secures the antbte penng device relative to the fuel tank and prevents access to the sender unit and the breather unit.

  • Figure ⁇ shows the anii-iampehng device completely installed and in use
  • Reference numeral I f refers to; anti-tarn peri no device in accordance with the invention.
  • the anti-tar enng device 10 comprises three parts, namely a first engaging member 12. a second engaging member 26 and a shield. 40.
  • the first engaging member 12 engages, the first exertt 14 of the vehicle fuel tank .. to which a sender unit 16 is attached.
  • the second engaging member engages the second inlet to the fuel tank 28 which receives the breather unit 30,
  • the first and second engaging members 12, 28 are secured to each Other and then to the shield 40 fc prevent unauthorised access to the fuel tank via the sender and breather units 16 and 30 respectively.
  • the first engaging member is a planar member, one edge of which defines a rounded siot 20 to compiemen aily engage the first inlet 14, Located either side of the siot 20 are brackets 35 or attachment to the second engaging member 26
  • Stabilising means 24 in the form of a poh urethane strip between the first engaging member 1 and the fuei tank. 18, stabilises the first engaging member 12 reiatlve to the fuel tank 18 when engaged.
  • Th second engaging member 26 comprises plate element 34 including at one end (A), a pair of lugs 36 to either side thereof for engaging the brackets 35 of the first engaging member
  • the lugs and brackets have complements! apertures,, which, when the first and second members 12 and 26 are in position, are In register to receive a fastener therethrough to secure the members to each other.
  • T e opposite end (S) of the plate element 34 includes an open-topped channel 37 parallel to the end of the plate, the base of the .channel including ' an aperture 32 for receiving the breather unit 30 therethrough.
  • the side of the channel proximate the pi ate element Includes an arcuate cut-out 38 for accommodating the hose 41 of the breather unit, while the opposite side of the channel includes an aperture 43 for receiving a fastener 48 for attachment, of the second engaging member to the shield.
  • the fastener comprises a nut and host arrangement 48 with the nui 46 being welded to the side of the channel.
  • the first engaging member 12 When secured in position, the first engaging member 12 covers the sender unit and limits access thereto. Once the first member 12 is engaged, the second member is located with th aperture 32 In register with the open inlet 28 and the the breather unit 3D Is screwed info the inlet 28, thereby securing the second member 25 in place.
  • the first and second members can fhen .be fastened to each other.;
  • Washers SO are used to ensure that the second engaging member 28 is securely fastened to the fuel tank.
  • the shield 40 engages the first 12 and second 26 engaging members, limiting access to the sender unit 16 and the breather unit 30 and ' prevents the unauthorised sipho i g: of fuel.
  • the shield 40 Is an upside down, open-topped box-like structure, one end of the box including a foot member 45 extending a short distance towards the other end of the box, the foot member including an arcuate slot 47 for engaging the base of the second Inlet.
  • the opposite end of the box Includes on the bottom edges on either side thereof a hook member 42.
  • the hocks 42 are configured to re!easab!y engage slots 44 located in the first engaging member.
  • the shield is located in position ove the first engaging member 12, also covenng the second engaging member save for the side of the channel remote from the first member 12. This is done by Inserting the hooks 42 Into the slots as described above. Bolt 48 and nut 48 are used to secure the shield in place.
  • the bottom edges of the box may be angled to accommodate the slope of the fuel tank to which the anti-tampersng device Is attached. Fastening of the first engaging member 12, second engaging member 26 and shield 40 to each other secures the anti-tampering device 10 to the fuel tank 18 and prevents access to th sender unit 16 and the breather unit 30,
  • the invention therefore provides a novel anii-iampeslng device for use in limiting access to the sender unit and breather unit, simultaneously.
