Who delivers gas when you run out in Arlington?
Call Quick Towing And Wrecker Services at (682) 351-8822. A driver brings fuel to where your car stopped, pours in enough to reach a gas station, and makes sure the engine starts before leaving.
We deliver to highway shoulders, store lots, apartment complexes and side streets in Arlington and the cities around it, any hour of the day.
How much fuel do you bring?
Enough to drive to the nearest open station, usually a few gallons. The goal is to get you moving safely, not to fill the tank. Once you reach the station, fill up as usual.
If you know your car takes premium, say so on the call. If it takes diesel, tell the dispatcher before we send a truck so we can confirm we have the right fuel on board. Putting the wrong fuel in a car can damage the engine, so we never guess.
Some newer cars have a capless filler that needs a special funnel when fuel is poured from a can. It usually comes with the car, stored with the jack or the spare. If you can't find it, tell the driver, who will work around it.
Why won't my car start after I put gas in it?
Some cars need a few extra turns of the key to pull fuel back up to the engine after the tank ran dry. If it still won't start after that, the fuel pump or another part may have failed, and the car may need a tow.
Running a tank completely dry is hard on the fuel pump, because the fuel also keeps the pump cool. If your car ran out of gas more than once, have the pump checked.
If the gauge showed fuel and the car still stopped, the gauge or the sending unit may be wrong. Tell the dispatcher, because a tow may be the better call.

(682) 351-8822Is it safe to wait on the highway shoulder for fuel?
It is safer to stay in the car with your seat belt on and your hazards running than to walk along the highway. Get as far right as you can. If the car is stuck in a travel lane, call 911 before calling us.
Don't walk to a gas station along I-30 or I-20 with a gas can. Shoulders on DFW highways are narrow and traffic moves fast. Waiting for a truck takes longer but keeps you off the road.
How much does fuel delivery cost?
You pay for the service call and the fuel. The dispatcher gives you the total on the phone before sending the truck, based on where you are and the time of day.
If the car won't start after the fuel is added and needs a tow, the driver will tell you the tow price before loading it.
What else can go wrong when a car runs out of gas?
Usually nothing, if you add fuel and drive normally afterward. Sometimes the battery runs down from repeated cranking, so the driver can jump the car too. In rare cases sediment from the bottom of the tank clogs the filter.
If the engine runs rough or stalls after the refill, stop and call. A short tow to a shop costs less than a damaged pump or injectors.
What if I put the wrong fuel in my car?
Don't start the engine, or turn it off right away if you already did. Diesel in a gas car, or gas in a diesel, can damage the fuel system once it circulates. The tank has to be drained at a shop, so the right call is a tow, not more fuel.
Tell the dispatcher exactly what went in and roughly how much. If you are still at the pump, push the car to a parking spot with help from the station staff, and we will tow it from there.
Many shops can drain and flush the tank the same day. Call ahead if you can, and we will drop the car and the key with them.
How can I avoid running out of gas on DFW highways?
Fill up at a quarter tank, especially before getting on I-30, I-20 or US-287 at night. Some stretches of North Texas highway have long gaps between open stations late at night, and traffic jams burn more fuel than you expect.
Don't trust the miles-to-empty number when the tank is low. It is an estimate based on recent driving and can drop fast in stop-and-go traffic or with the air conditioning on high.
If the low-fuel light comes on, find the nearest station on your phone's map before you need it. If you do run out, get onto the shoulder while the car still has momentum.
Can you deliver fuel to a parking lot or my home?
Yes. We bring fuel to store lots, apartment complexes, office garages and driveways. Tell the dispatcher where the car is parked and whether the lot has a gate or a height limit.
If the car has been sitting empty for a long time, the battery may also be low. The driver can check it and jump it on the same visit.
How long does fuel delivery take?
Pouring the fuel takes a few minutes. Most of the wait is the drive to you, and the dispatcher gives you an arrival estimate on the call based on where the nearest truck is. Late at night that is often faster, because traffic is lighter.
After the fuel goes in, the driver waits until the engine starts and runs smoothly before leaving. If it doesn't start, you don't need a second call. The same truck can tow you to a shop.
Have your hazards on and your phone charged while you wait. If you are on a dark shoulder, keep your headlights or parking lights on so the driver and other traffic can see the car.
Where is fuel delivery available?
Everywhere we tow: Arlington and 16 nearby cities in Dallas-Fort Worth. Call from any of them and the nearest truck is sent.
