(Tip #1-Risk factor minimal)) Make a big sign saying "FUEL ADDICT-WILL WORK FOR FUEL!" and stand by the road wearing your favorite grubby camping outfit. Optional-A dejected look, disheveled hair, several days of beard and a shopping cart filled with empty gas cans give it a nice touch.
(Tip #2-Risk factor moderate) Wear a pair of blue overalls, sew an American Flag on the sleeve. Pose as a Federal "Red Dye Diesel Inspector" and go to any truck stop. Siphon a gallon of Diesel from each truck you see parked, explaining you are just verifying that the trucker is using proper un-dyed diesel. In an hour you'll have around 100 gallons of diesel for your RV!
(Tip #3-Risk factor extremely high!) When a trucker pulls into the gas station to refuel, your beautiful, scantily clad and high heeled accomplice distracts the driver with a wheeled ice chest that she is selling ice cold beer from, while you take another wheeled ice chest over to the fuel tank, and fill your ice chest with diesel. A good Coleman Wheeled Ice Chest can hold 20 gallons of fuel! The wheels will also come in handy while you and your partner run screaming across the parking lot.
I realize that you are trying to be funny, but you have made a mockery of the word FREE. Each of your ideas require some capital to make it happen.....
Grubby clothes don't grow on trees! And that sign for Fuel, that will cost you the price of a Sharpie marker!
Have you honestly priced the cost of the American flag patch for the over-alls......if you have the overalls? And then you have to buy the siphon to get the fuel out of the trucker's tanks, as well as have on of those stainless tanks to store the fuel in....they won't let you just put it into the tank of your RV...even if you have an official looking sign on the side of the camper None of there things are cheap!
Lastly, you have to buy those coolers, and the ice and beer.....
And, if my cohort in crime was scantly clad....I'd be thinking of something better to do than try and get some free (oops, cheap) fuel. Know what I mean
I applaud your ingenuity, but we still need to come up with a better system.....keep thinking!!

how about an electric fuel pump in the bed of your truck? one end in the tank, the other has a 20 ft hose. pull in and drop one end into someones tank, turn on furl pump, fil up. OPPS it worked when I was young, dinosours were walking the earth back then, believe it not here in El Paso, the cops caqught a couple of kids filling there car at the mall in this fashion.

Some people just can't take a joke.
BTW, where are you gonna find a scantily clad young lady with high heels that my wife won't find offending? Heck, if she leaves me, I could whore myself out for fuel.
Almost forgot, for those thinking of stealing fuel, I hope they come to my truck, at least when they start to syphon, it'll taste like chicken
