    Default BOLO--Stolen Fuel Trailer--Brighton

    A buddy of mine had a really nice 1000 gallon Jet A/diesel fuel trailer stolen from his house in rural Brighton earlier this afternoon. The trailer is built with diamond plate and it has a electric fuel transfer pump built in to offload fuel. I don't think there are many of these around, so it should stick out like a sore thumb.

    The picture I'm attaching is a pic of the actual trailer attached to my buddy's Tundra. The trailer had about 750 gallons of fuel in it when it was stolen.

    If anybody sees anything, contact me and I'll put you in touch with the owner.

    Thanks!

    Did this ever get recovered?

    Yes. Sorry I didn't post an update. It was found abandoned in a field in Westminster or Thornton. Anything that wasn't welded in place had been stripped. The 750 gallons of jet fuel was gone.

    My buddy spent a day and about $1500 in parts to get it back in usable condition.

    He now stores it inside.

    People suck sometimes.

    I bet someone used it in their Dodge Charger thinking it was 85 octane.

    Just took a quick look... looks like the retail price for Jet A is running between about $3.80 and 5.00 per gallon. As an aside, airlines typically buy it for right around 1/2 the retail price.

    We're all hoping the thieves were idiots and tried to run the fuel in their cars and trucks and ruined their engines. I always thought diesel vehicles could burn Jet A with no issues, but according to my friend, it'll seriously screw them up. I keep thinking I need to reasearch this just for my own edification, but I haven't looked into it.

    Jet A is similar to kerosene.

    Straight up Jet A doesn't have the lubricity in it the Diesel injector pumps need to survive.
