Fuel Delivery Services
Out of Gas on the Road
The gauge said 20 miles left and the engine quit anyway. We come to the shoulder, add regular unleaded and make sure the car restarts before we leave.
Diesel Pickups and Vans
Diesel delivery is available for pickups and light commercial vans. Many diesels need the fuel system primed after running dry. Tell dispatch you're diesel so we come ready.
Ran Dry at Home
Running on fumes when you parked last night, and now it won't start? We'll fuel it in the driveway or apartment lot so you don't have to walk to a station with a borrowed can.
Won't Start After Fueling
Cranking a car that's out of gas can drain the battery. If it won't turn over once there's fuel in the tank, we'll jump-start it on the same visit, quoted first.
Wrong Fuel in the Tank
Put diesel in a gas car, or gas in a diesel? Don't start it. Adding fuel won't fix it. The tank needs draining at a shop, so we'll tow it there before the wrong fuel reaches the engine.
Electric Cars Out of Charge
We don't do mobile EV charging. A flatbed tow to the nearest charger or your home gets you moving again.
How Much Fuel We Bring
Fuel delivery is meant to get you to a gas station, not to fill your tank. We add a few gallons, enough to reach the nearest station with room to spare. Once you're there, fill up all the way.
Why not more? Carrying fuel in portable containers is limited for safety, and the price you'd pay us per gallon will always be higher than the pump. A few gallons and a short drive is the cheapest way to fix the problem.
If you've run dry miles from a station, ask dispatch. We'll tell you how much we'll add and how far it should get you.
Is Running Out of Gas Bad for Your Car?
Once in a while, it's usually fine. Making a habit of it can cost you.
The Fuel Pump Runs Hot
In most cars, the fuel pump sits inside the tank and relies on the fuel around it to stay cool. Running on empty again and again makes the pump work harder and hotter, and pump replacement is an expensive repair.
Sediment Gets Pulled In
Debris that settles at the bottom of the tank can get drawn toward the filter when the level is very low. That's a common reason a car stumbles or stalls after a fill-up.
Diesels Need Priming
Diesel engines can pull air into the fuel lines when they run dry. Many need the system primed before they'll start, which is one reason to call a pro instead of pouring in a can and cranking.
Keep a Quarter Tank
The easy fix is to refuel at a quarter tank. That's especially true before a long drive or a hurricane evacuation, when stations along Highway 6 and US-90A can run out.
Running Low on the Fort Bend Parkway or Beltway 8
Toll roads have long stretches between exits and no gas stations on the road itself. If the light comes on there:
Take the next exit instead of hoping to reach a familiar station.
Slow down and ease off the AC. Steady, moderate speed stretches the last of your fuel.
If it quits, steer onto the right shoulder as far as possible and turn on your hazards.
Call with your direction and the last exit or mile marker you passed. That gets us to you faster on a divided road.
Help Us Get You Fueled Faster
A few small things make a fuel call quicker:
Check the fuel type. It's usually printed inside the fuel door and always in your owner's manual. If your car calls for premium, tell dispatch so we bring the right grade.
Find the capless funnel. Many newer Ford and GM vehicles have a capless filler that won't open for a gas-can spout. They usually come with a plastic funnel stored with the spare or jack. If you can't find it, let dispatch know.
Unlock the fuel door. Some open only with a button inside the car or when the doors are unlocked.
Keep your phone on. Our technician may call for landmarks if the location is hard to pinpoint.
Stay out of the travel lane. If you're on a busy road, wait away from the car, off the pavement.
When the technician arrives, they'll add the fuel, prime the system if needed, start the engine and stay until it idles smoothly. Then head straight to the pump.
What Fuel Delivery Costs
You'll get the full price on the phone before we dispatch, including whether the fuel is billed separately from the service. After-hours, weekend and holiday calls can add 25% to 50%.
Many insurance policies, motor clubs and credit card roadside plans cover fuel delivery, though the fuel itself may not be included. Check yours before you pay out of pocket.
Out of Gas? We'll Bring Enough to Get You Going
Call with your location and whether you need gas or diesel. We'll quote it and head your way.
