Anyone need cheap fuel?

Hard to believe this is not illegal. Fuel Manipulator

ORLANDO, Fla. – A handmade device powered by two 9-volt batteries is being inserted into diesel fuel pumps by organized gangs across Florida, allowing them to pay 5 cents a gallon for the high-priced fuel, according to members of the Orlando Cyber-Fraud Task Force.
Senior Special Agent Roger Fuentes of the Orlando Secret Service told News 6 the device is currently legal and appears to be designed by someone very familiar with the pulser, the sensor that measures gallons to dollars spent at the pump.

Investigators tell News 6 the manipulation device was first uncovered in Orlando and Tampa last June and many lawmakers are not aware of it.
So far more than 50 cases involving use of the device have been reviewed by state and federal investigators.

The “manipulator” fools the pulser, allowing thieves to pay pennies on the dollar for diesel fuel and then sell it on the black market at deep discount prices.
Just one device can steal an estimated $2 to $3 million in diesel fuel in just one year, according to Fuentes.
Investigators told News 6 that gas station video surveillance shows thieves inserting the device, which is roughly 5 inches high and 5 inches wide, into a gas pump in less than a minute.
It is believed they have keys that allow them to access the pumps or in some cases, they pry the pumps open.


This whole story seems odd to me. There is no way that would be legal to use. Or maybe they are just saying it is legal to posses and that’s what they want to change.
