Hi, this is my first time posting here. I have found a green box inside the cabin of my hilux, the front of the box has the name "masana petroleum solutions" and it has a green and a red light that's on. Any idea what's this for? I tried attaching a picture but it's too large to attach :thumbdown:

Maybe a tracker of some kind. Your vehicle was probably one of Masana's fleet vehicles.

I would take it out as it is an additional drain on your battery.

Hi Shirom,
A while back BP had a system (maybe they still do) where you could fill up and the amount is debited to an account, company account normally and they gave a bulk discount. Masana was the scheme name I think. The system worked like this: The nozzle from the fuel pump has a sensor and it is activated when they insert the nozzel into your filler pipe on your bakkie. You will see that there is a round rubber ring around the filler pipe that is attached to the green box. Just take it all out......
