SODA against fuel theft

Fuel theft is an escalating issue for petrol stations. Whether it involves a customer driving off without paying or someone who promises to return but never does, SODA offers a swift and effective solution to recover your financial losses.

What is fuel theft?

Fuel theft is classified into three categories:

Deliberate drive-offs – a criminal offence.
Promise to pay later – verbal agreements that remain unsettled.
Unintentional oversight – genuine mistakes made by customers or staff.

Regardless of the cause, SODA manages the entire recovery process on your behalf.

SODA takes care of the entire process, including legal follow-up if required.

Intentional theft

In cases of deliberate theft, SODA recovers the fuel cost plus £151 in compensation for time and disruption.

Honest mistake

For genuine mistakes, only the fuel cost and a modest administrative fee (£40 incl. VAT) are recovered.
