Fuel Delivery Services
Gasoline Delivery
Most calls are a car or SUV that sputtered to a stop with the gas light on. We pour in enough regular unleaded to get you to a pump safely, then make sure the engine starts and idles before we leave.
Diesel Delivery
Diesel pickups and work trucks that run dry can be harder to restart. Air gets into the fuel lines, and some engines need the system primed before they'll fire. Tell dispatch it's a diesel so we bring the right fuel.
Fuel for Work Vans and Box Trucks
A delivery van stuck on its route still needs only enough fuel to reach the next station. We get it there so the driver can finish the day. For bulk or scheduled fleet fueling, call a fuel distributor.
Motorcycles
Small tanks run dry fast. We'll bring a top-up to get your bike to a pump, or tow it if it won't restart.
Out of Charge in an EV
We can't pour electricity into a tank. If your EV's battery is empty, we'll flatbed it to a charger or your home. See electric vehicle towing.
Wrong Fuel in the Tank
Put gas in a diesel, or diesel in a gas car? Don't start the engine. Running it pulls the wrong fuel through the system. The tank needs draining at a shop, and we'll tow it there.
What Happens When You Run Out of Gas
Cars don't stop all at once. You'll usually feel the engine stumble or lose power for a few seconds before it dies. That's the moment to put on your hazards and steer to the shoulder, a turn lane or a parking lot while you still have momentum.
Get Clear of Traffic First
Power steering and brakes need more effort with the engine off, but they still work. Coast as far right as you can. On a highway with no shoulder, stay buckled in with your hazards on and call 911 if you're stuck in a travel lane.
Why Running Dry Is Hard on the Car
In most modern cars, the fuel pump sits inside the tank and relies on fuel around it to stay cool. Running on empty now and then won't ruin it, but repeated running dry shortens its life. Sediment from the bottom of the tank can also get pulled into the filter.
If It Won't Restart After Fueling
Give the pump a few seconds to prime: turn the key to "on" without starting, then crank. If it still won't start after the fuel's in, the problem may be the battery from all the cranking, or something other than an empty tank. We'll check, jump it if needed (see jump start service), or quote a tow.
Help Us Find You Fast
The faster we find you, the less time you spend on a hot shoulder. When you call, have this ready:
- Your location. Exit number, mile marker, or the nearest cross street. If you're near a landmark like Sugar Land Town Square or a big shopping center, tell us that too.
- Your vehicle. Make, model and color, so the operator can spot you.
- Fuel type. Gasoline or diesel.
- Anything else wrong. A flat as well? Mention it and we'll handle the flat tire change on the same trip.
Stay with the car if it's safe, keep your phone charged, and watch traffic, not your screen, while you wait.
Fuel Gauge Said You Had Gas?
Sometimes a car stops with the needle showing a quarter tank. Before we pour fuel in, we'll ask what the gauge read, because that changes the diagnosis.
A Faulty Fuel Gauge or Sending Unit
The float in the tank that tells the gauge how much fuel is left can stick or wear out. If the gauge has been acting oddly, fuel delivery will get you going, and a shop can replace the sender.
A Fuel Pump That Quit
If there's fuel in the tank and the engine cranks but won't catch, the pump or its relay may have failed. Adding more fuel won't help. We'll tell you that straight away and quote a tow to your mechanic instead of charging for gas you don't need.
"Miles to Empty" Is an Estimate
The range readout is based on how you've been driving recently. Stop-and-go traffic on U.S. 59 at rush hour, with the A/C on full in August, burns fuel faster than the estimate expects. When the light comes on, plan to fill up at the next exit, not the one after.
Fuel Delivery Cost
Fuel delivery is priced as a roadside call. You get the exact price on the phone before we send a truck, including the fuel. Late-night and holiday calls typically add 25% to 50%. Many insurance policies, roadside plans and new-car programs include fuel delivery, though some charge you for the fuel itself, so it's worth checking your app or card first.
