The Service

Professional in - Process Details

Vans and LCVs (Light Commercial Vehicles) often have saddle tanks, larger fuel capacities (70-100+ litres), and more complex fuel routing than standard cars. A DIY siphon is entirely useless here. We use high-capacity extraction equipment specifically designed to handle large volume drains quickly.

We understand that a stranded van disrupts your business. We offer priority dispatch for commercial vehicles, ensuring your driver is back on their route as quickly as possible. We provide instant digital VAT receipts for your accounts department, making the administration seamless.

FAQs

Common Questions

Does draining a large van tank take longer?expand_more
Slightly, due to the larger volume (up to 100L vs a car's 50L). However, our mobile units use industrial high-capacity extraction pumps designed specifically to handle large volumes quickly, so the difference is minimal — usually just 10-15 minutes extra.
Can I pay from the office while the driver is on-site?expand_more
Yes. Fleet managers or accounts teams can call and make payment securely over the phone via credit or debit card while the driver waits with the vehicle. The VAT receipt is then emailed directly to your chosen address.
Do you offer fleet accounts for regular users?expand_more
Yes, we provide 30-day invoicing accounts for approved courier, logistics, and corporate fleet partners. Please contact our head office to discuss setting up a fleet account.
Can you handle twin or saddle tanks on larger vans?expand_more
Yes. Vehicles with saddle tanks (where the tank straddles the propshaft) require specialized extraction from both sides to ensure 99%+ removal. Our technicians are fully trained to deal with these complex tank designs.
What happens if the driver started the engine?expand_more
If the engine has been run, contaminated fuel has entered the high-pressure system. We perform a full tank evacuation and then execute a complete line and injector flush to purge the system before re-priming. This is all included in the service.
