Remote control theft prevention
Ideal for older trucks without fuel injection systems, fuel block systems help combat truck theft via a satellite controlled tracking device. In these vehicle disabling systems, a solenoid valve between the fuel pump and the fuel filter is a key element. If the truck is stolen, the driver makes a call to the system manufacturer. They then send a signal via satellite to the truck, which cuts the electricity to the solenoid valve, stopping the fuel supply. And it’s the Danfoss EV220B solenoid valve that does the job.
The EV220B is a high performance, water-hammer damped solenoid valve that’s available in a broad range of body and sealing materials. It’s also insensitive to dirt and comes in a very compact design. Add to this its cost-efficient performance and wide pressure range, and you get the perfect valve for truck fuel systems.
With a fuel block system installed, trucks can’t be driven. Also, the satellite tracking system helps pinpoint the exact location of the vehicle – good news for truck owners, bad news for truck thieves.
