iii. wherein said circuit housing comprises a circuit housing cover, wherein said cover comprises a first surface and a second surface and wherein both first and second surfaces are provided with an adhesive surface therein forming two adhesive surfaces about said circuit housing cover; and wherein said cover is adapted to securely fasten said female circuit break connector and said corresponding male circuit break connector in their coupled state onto said first surface of cover; and wherein said second surface of said cover is adapted to be coupled with the surface of a fuel delivery filler neck therein providing for said first tamperproof measure; wherein an attempt to remove said cover leads to at least one or more of severing, separating, and/or decoupling said male and female circuit break connectors rendering said tag circuitry inoperable or irreparable; and

b. a tail portion for fastening and coupling said head portion to said fuel delivery filler neck wherein said tail portion fluidly extends from said head portion; and comprises an integrated RFID antennae coil, and conductive wiring; and wherein said conductive wiring is electronically coupled with said RFID tag circuitry with at least two electrical contacts provides therein forming a second tamperproof measure wherein said RFID tag circuitry is rendered inoperable or irreparably if said conductive wiring becomes severed or cut.

17. The device of claim 16 wherein the adhesive surface about said second surface is covered with a removable laminate that may be peeled to expose said second adhesive surface.

18. The device of claim 16 wherein said coil and said conductive wiring are electronically coupled.

19. The device of claim 16 wherein said coil and said conductive wiring are individually electronically coupled to said tag circuitry.
