Dashboard said you had 10 miles left and the petrol station was 5 miles away. Except now you're sat on the side of the road with an empty tank. Breakdown recovery takes 2-3 hours. You need fuel now.

What to Expect
Step 1: Initial Call
You tell me where you are, what fuel you need (diesel or petrol), and I check if I can respond quickly. I'll give you honest timeframe and total cost before setting off.
Step 2: Fuel Delivery
I drive to your location with appropriate fuel in approved containers. Usually bring 5-10 litres - enough to get you to nearest petrol station safely.
Step 3: Refuel & Restart

🔧 DIY Tips
Prevention is better than emergency fuel delivery:
⛽ Preventing running out
- Don't trust "miles remaining" displays completely (they estimate based on recent driving)
- Fill up when gauge shows quarter tank, not when warning light appears
- Know your local petrol stations - where's the nearest to your regular routes?
- Keep emergency £20 in car for fuel if you misjudge
🚗 What to do if you run out
- Get safely off the road if possible (hazard lights on)
- Call breakdown service OR local emergency fuel delivery
- Don't attempt to push car alone (dangerous on busy roads)
- If on motorway, use emergency phone (free recovery)
⚠️ Never do this
- Don't try to carry fuel in unsuitable containers (illegal and dangerous)
- Don't accept fuel from strangers in random containers
- Don't pour fuel near ignition sources
- Don't walk along motorways to find fuel (use emergency phone)
💡 Pro trick: Many modern cars have fuel tank emergency release inside boot - lets you open fuel cap without key/central locking. Check your handbook. Useful if you run out and battery is also dead.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
⚠️ Wrong fuel? If you've put petrol in a diesel or vice versa, DON'T start the engine. You need fuel tank draining, not more fuel. Call a fuel drain specialist, not me.
Motorway breakdowns? Use the emergency phone - it's free recovery to nearest exit. My service is for local roads where you're stuck waiting hours for breakdown services.
Regular occurrence? If you run out of fuel repeatedly, get your fuel gauge checked - might be reading wrong and putting you at risk. Or maybe just remember to fill up more often!
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you deliver emergency fuel?
Depends where you are and my current schedule, but typically within 1-2 hours within Exeter and close surrounding areas. Call and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help quickly or if you're better calling breakdown recovery.
How much fuel do you bring?
Usually 5-10 litres - enough to get you to the nearest petrol station safely. I don't carry huge amounts for safety/storage reasons. Just enough to get you moving again.
Do you charge for the fuel as well?
Yes - you pay the callout (£60-85 depending on distance) plus the fuel at current pump prices. I'll tell you the total before delivering. Usually works out cheaper than breakdown recovery.
Can you deliver diesel and petrol?
Yes, both. I carry separate approved containers for each fuel type. Let me know which you need when you call so I bring the right one.
What if I'm outside Exeter?
I cover roughly 30 miles from Exeter, but response time increases with distance. If you're on the motorway or far out, breakdown recovery might be quicker. Call and I'll advise honestly.
