Out of fuel help when you need it.
Running out of fuel can happen to anyone – maybe traffic was heavier than expected, a gauge was faulty or a long day meant you simply forgot to fill up.
Our Fuel Assistance Service is designed for drivers who need a quick, local solution when the tank runs dry, So instead of leaving your vehicle at the roadside or walking along busy roads with a fuel can, you can stay safe while help comes to you.
This service is ideal if:
- Your vehicle has stopped because the tank is empty or very low.
- The nearest petrol station is too far to walk safely.
- You are on a busy road, unfamiliar route or travelling with children.
- You do not have breakdown cover or face a long wait with another provider.
The aim is to provide enough fuel to get you started and to the nearest petrol station to fully refill.
How the mobile out of fuel service works
The process is kept simple and clear:
1) You get in touch with your location, vehicle registration and confirm that you have run out of fuel or are too low to continue safely.
2) Your address in or around Watford, Harrow, Hemel Hempstead or St Albans is checked, and an estimated arrival time is given.
3) On arrival, a suitable amount of the correct fuel type (petrol or diesel) is put into your tank so you can restart and travel to a nearby petrol station.
4) You are advised to refuel fully as soon as possible and to avoid driving on very low fuel in future, as this can increase the risk of breakdowns and potential damage to some components.

Important service notice and limitations
The Mobile Out of Fuel Service is intended as an emergency top-up to get you moving again, not as a full refill service. There are important limitations:
- Only a limited quantity of fuel is provided – enough to restart and reach a petrol station, not to fully fill your tank.
- You must clearly confirm the correct fuel type for your vehicle (petrol or diesel); using the wrong fuel can cause serious damage.
- If it appears that your vehicle’s non-start is due to another issue (such as a fuel system fault or mechanical problem) rather than simply running out of fuel, the assistance may be limited to basic checks and advice, and you may need recovery or garage diagnostics.
- This service is separate from misfuelling (putting petrol in a diesel vehicle or vice versa); specialist fuel drain services are required in those cases.
The goal is to safely help genuine “out
