Ran Out Of Fuel

Enough to get you safely to the nearest fuel station — not a full tank, just enough to get you moving again.

Just tell us which your car takes when you call — we always double-check before putting anything in, since the wrong fuel is a much bigger problem than running dry.

That's fine for petrol, but worth being a little more careful with diesel — repeated attempts on a dry diesel tank can let air into the fuel system, which sometimes needs a garage to bleed. Tell us if that's happened and we'll advise.

Yes — we treat it exactly the same as any other roadside call, same response time, same priority.

Tell us the symptoms when you call — flat battery, turns over but won't fire, dashboard warning lights — and we'll often be able to get you moving at the roadside without a full recovery.
