History & Development
How We Started
Diesel Guard (Pty) Ltd (previously Lunoel Trading (Pty) Ltd) was registered and began operations in 2007. The factory and head office are situated in Waterfall, near Hillcrest west of Durban in KwaZulu Natal.
The company was originally founded for the sole purpose of developing and marketing the Diesel Guard range of products to help combat the theft and pilferage of diesel from vehicle tanks.
The first Diesel Guards were originally designed by Hennie Lamprecht and his team in response to calls to come up with a solution to combat the theft of fuel from diesel truck tanks. Within a very short space of time the product proved to be a very effective barrier to protect fuel in the tank.
The range rapidly expanded to include all trucks, tractors and plant, construction and mining equipment common in South Africa.
With the price of diesel soaring in the mid 2000’s the transport sector needed an anti-theft/ anti-siphoning system that could withstand the robust African conditions and protect the bottom line.
