The petrol station caught the theft on CCTV.

A rural petrol station owner says it was hit three times in same night by fuel thieves, taking about $3000 worth of fuel.

In the middle of the night last Sunday, a red Mazda arrived at Rongotea Garage in Manawatū, a family-owned branch of Allied Petroleum.

Owner Kim Good said CCTV footage shows the car parked on top of the underground fuel storage tank, moving back and forward a few times.
