Fuel Delivery

Ran Out of Gas? It’s More Common Than You Think.

Before you feel embarrassed about it — don’t. We get fuel delivery calls all the time. Way more than people probably expect. The gas gauge was acting funny. You thought you could make it one more exit. You were running late and figured you’d fill up later. Life happens.

The good news is it’s one of the easiest problems to fix. You call us, we bring gas, you drive away. Done.

How Fuel Delivery Works

Pretty simple:

• You call (801) 396-8259
• Tell us where you are and what you’re driving
• We bring you enough fuel to get to the nearest gas station — usually a couple gallons
• We pour it in, you start up, you go fill the rest of your tank

We carry unleaded gasoline for standard vehicles. If you drive a diesel, let us know when you call so we make sure we’ve got the right fuel on the truck. Putting the wrong fuel in your tank is a real problem — not the kind of help you’re looking for.

Where People Run Out of Gas Around Here

There are a few spots that we see over and over. That long stretch of I-15 between exits where you keep thinking “there’s gotta be a gas station at the next one.” The Bangerter Highway corridor where stations are more spread out than you’d expect. And honestly, just regular surface streets in Taylorsville and West Valley where someone was running on fumes and lost the gamble.

The worst is running out on the highway during rush hour. You’re blocking a lane, people are honking, and you just want to disappear. We’ve been there. Call us and we’ll get you fueled up and out of there as quickly as possible.

A Note About Modern Fuel Gauges

Here’s something a lot of people don’t know: running your car until the tank is bone dry isn’t great for it. Modern fuel pumps are cooled by the gasoline surrounding them. When the tank’s empty, that pump runs hot and it can burn out over time. Electric fuel pumps aren’t cheap to replace.

Also, the “miles to empty” display in newer cars is an estimate at best. It’s based on your recent driving habits, and it can be way off. If it says 20 miles left, treat it like 10. Especially if you’re going uphill or sitting in stop-and-go traffic on 4700 South — both of those burn fuel faster than steady highway driving.

Not trying to lecture you. Just stuff we’ve picked up from doing this for years.

Don’t Walk to the Gas Station

Seriously, don’t. Every now and then someone decides they’ll walk to the nearest station with a gas can. On a nice day on a quiet side street, maybe that works. But walking along I-15 or I-215 is dangerous. Walking along Bangerter Highway isn’t much better. There’s no sidewalk, traffic is moving fast, and especially at night it’s just not safe.

It’s also Utah. In the winter, you’re walking in the cold — possibly on ice, possibly in a snowstorm. In the summer, it’s 95 degrees and the nearest station is farther than you thought. Either way, calling us is faster, easier, and a whole lot safer.

Out of Gas? We’ll Come to You.

Give us a call at (801) 396-8259 any time, day or night. We’ll bring fuel straight to wherever you’re stuck and get you on your way. No lectures, no side-eye — just gas in your tank and you’re good to go.

Need more than fuel? If your car still won’t start after we fill you up, it might be a dead battery or something else. We can handle roadside assistance on the spot or tow you to a shop if needed.
