Fuel Delivery – Frequently Asked Questions
That’s a great question and a difficult one to answer. There are so many Roadside Assistance Providers and packages available from motor clubs, insurance companies, car manufacturers, and apps you can download. Who do you call? The easy answer is find a company / package that is 1. affordable, 2. reliable. 3. convenient, 4. offers the services you need.
Without going into all the dirty details there is a common truth among all these providers. None of them have their own fleets to provide gas when you run out. All of them subcontract to local service providers – namely tow truck companies.
The best provider of fuel delivery, when you run out is your local tow truck company, like All Roadside Towing in San Diego. Calling the tow truck company directly assures you much faster service. You are essentially cutting out the middle man. The motor clubs, insurance companies, etc. are going to call us anyway.
Trust me, it’s easier to call a local tow truck company, who is initimately familiar with the location you ran out of gas in, than it is to call your insurance company or motor club who probably outsourced their call centers over seas.
Plus, they will call us anyway, but there will be a gap between when you call and when they dispatch the service to us. A tow truck company will charge you for the service. But if you call a reputable tow company, they will provide you with an itemized invoice that you can supply to your motor club, insurance company, manufacturer, etc. for reimbursement.
When All Roadside Towing customers submit their invoices for reimbursement they almost always get 100% reimbursed, because we charge a fair rate and provide a quality service.
Not on a modern car. The design of most engines have built in safeties to prevent damage based on running out of gas. If you consistently run out of gas you may eventually cause damage to your engine. When you’re out of gas the vacuum pressure that normally draws fuel out of the gas tank may draw in debris that’s settled to the bottom of the tank. But that would take 10’s or even 100’s of running out of gas events before it became a problem.
If your car runs out of gas on the highway there’s a couple of things you should do. First get your vehicle to the side of the road as quickly as possible. Get over on the emergency lane as far as you can go, so your vehicle is not in the way of traffic. Get somewhere safe and then call for help. You can always call a local tow truck company like All Roadside Towing, who will generally provide you with a couple gallons of fuel to get you to the next gas station.
If you have Roadside Assistance fuel delivery, either through a motorclub, your car insurance, or vehicle manufacturer, you can call their number to get a tow company dispatched to you. If you have friends or family members nearby you can always call them. Ask them to bring you a container of gas, or pick you up to go buy a container of fuel.
As mentioned above it’s never a good idea to hitch hike to the nearest gas station. Walking along the side of the freeway is also not a good idea.
The short answer is no! Local law enforcement has more important things to do than rescue stranded motorists. At the same time, if you feel that your safety is in immediate peril it may make sense. If you ran out of gas in the middle of the freeway and can’t get to the shoulder, by all means call local highway patrol. Perhaps you ran out of gas in what you believe is a dangerous neighborhood at night. It might make sense to call the local police department.
Most cars will start right up after you pour some fuel into the fuel tank. It might take a couple of seconds longer as the starter needs to build some pressure to start drawing fuel again… but this would only take a couple of seconds.
If you want to be on the safe side, you can turn the key to the accessory setting first, which will provide power to your starter to circulate some fuel through the engine. You can also step on the gas pedal a few times which will also circulate fuel through the engine.
