Wrong fuel in your work van? We know time is money. Our commercial vehicle specialists will get you back on the road fast — anywhere in the Scottish Highlands.
Vans and commercial vehicles present unique challenges for fuel drain services. Larger fuel tanks (70–100 litres compared to 40–60 in a car), more complex fuel system routing, dual-tank configurations, and chassis-mounted fuel filters all require specialist equipment and experience. Whether you're driving a Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Vauxhall Vivaro, VW Transporter, or any other commercial vehicle, our mobile units carry heavy-duty industrial pumps, oversized extraction tanks, and commercial-grade filters to handle the job efficiently. We understand that a van off the road means lost income, which is why we prioritise commercial call-outs.
Don't start the engine. Call us immediately for the best outcome.
Commercial vehicles often show the same misfuelling symptoms as cars, but the stakes are higher due to business downtime. Watch for these signs.
Our simple 4-step process gets you back on the road quickly and safely.
We prioritise commercial vehicles to minimise your business downtime. Tell us the make, model, and fuel type so we can dispatch the right equipment. Available 24/7.
Our mobile units carry industrial-grade extraction pumps, 200-litre waste tanks, and commercial fuel filters — everything needed for larger fuel systems.
We drain the larger tank (or tanks), flush all fuel lines including any chassis-mounted filter housings, and replace filters suited to your specific vehicle.
We refill with the correct fuel from our on-board supply, run the engine under load, and monitor performance. You'll be back to work with minimal disruption.
A typical van fuel tank holds 70–100 litres — nearly double that of a car. Some larger vans and panel trucks have dual-tank systems or underslung tanks that require specific access points for drainage. The fuel lines are routed differently than in cars, often running the length of the chassis, and the fuel filter is commonly mounted externally on the chassis rail rather than in the engine bay. Standard car fuel drain equipment simply isn't powerful enough to extract fuel from these larger systems efficiently. Our commercial units carry industrial-grade pumps that can drain a 100-litre tank in under 15 minutes.
We understand that a van off the road directly impacts your livelihood. That's why we prioritise commercial vehicle call-outs and aim for the fastest possible response times. Our technicians are experienced with all major commercial vehicle makes and know the specific fuel system layouts, meaning less time diagnosing and more time fixing. We carry commercial-specification fuel filters for the most common van models, so there's no waiting for parts. Most van fuel drains are completed in 60–90 minutes, and we can work around your schedule — including evenings, weekends, and early mornings.
If you manage a fleet of commercial vehicles, misfuelling incidents are a matter of when, not if. We offer fleet account services with priority response, agreed pricing, and consolidated invoicing. We can also advise on preventive measures including misfuelling prevention devices, driver awareness materials, and fuel cap modifications. For fleets running on red diesel or with on-site fuel storage, we also provide contamination testing and tank cleaning services. Contact us to discuss setting up a fleet account.
We work on all commercial vehicles including Ford Transit and Transit Custom, Mercedes Sprinter, Vauxhall Vivaro and Movano, Volkswagen Transporter and Crafter, Renault Trafic and Master, Peugeot Expert and Boxer, Citroën Dispatch and Relay, Toyota Proace, Fiat Ducato, Iveco Daily, and MAN TGE. We also handle larger vehicles including Luton vans, box vans, and light trucks up to 7.5 tonnes. If your vehicle isn't listed, call us — we can almost certainly help.
When you call, we'll ask for the make, model, and approximate amount of wrong fuel added so we can dispatch the appropriate equipment. Our technician will arrive with a heavy-duty extraction unit and oversized waste tank capable of handling commercial fuel volumes. The tank is fully drained via the fuel sender unit or drain plug, then the fuel lines, filter housing, and rail are flushed with clean fuel. We carry OEM-specification fuel filters for the most common van models and will fit a new one as part of the service. After refilling with the correct fuel, we run the engine under load — including revving to working temperature — and check for
