Merlin Diesel Systems Ltd...

The name 'MERLIN ' has been associated with diesel fuel injection test equipment since 1947, when it was manufactured by engineers C.T. Rhodes of Halifax, West Yorkshire, and later, in the early 1960's, Merlin International (Engineers) Ltd of Preston, Lancashire.

In 1991 the company was purchased by its present owners,our Chairman and Finance Director, Ken Bramley and Jonathan Chaytor respectively and moved to modern premises at Walton Summit Centre, Preston, where the operation was restructured and a programme of improvements and new products were quickly introduced.

The product range covers automotive, marine, rail and power generation applications and includes test equipment for electronic unit injectors, common rail injectors and electronic governed fuel pumps.
Ultrasonic cleaning tanks, tachometers, service tools and test bench spares, plus a comprehensive selection of reconditioned test equipment compliment the range.

Ten years on has seen the expansion of the company by the acquisition of diesel injection spare parts supplier, Hilo Diesel Systems. This has resulted in a new parts division being introduced and a change of name to Merlin Diesel Systems Ltd.

The new Merlin parts division supply diesel injection spare parts, complete units, nozzles, fuel pumps, injectors, lift pumps, filters and glow plugs to home and export markets.

A fully experienced sales team offer our customers a prompt and efficient service at all times. This is further enhanced with our technical expertise, invaluable when trying to source those hard to find parts.
The new company now offers a truly comprehensive service to diesel fuel injection specialists worldwide.

Our diesel parts sales team is led by Managing Director, Danny Doherty who was for some years a Chief Execute of Leyland Auto Electrical & Diesel Ltd. He is assisted by Leigh Bramley who looks after our export customers and has many years experienced in the diesel fuel injection business.
