What number to call for fuel delivery when running out of gas halfway?
2 Answers
You can call for a tow truck, request fuel delivery service, or dial 110. Here are more related details: 1. Calling a tow truck: After your vehicle runs out of fuel, you can call a tow truck to take your car to a gas station, though towing fees are generally not cheap. Alternatively, you could ask a friend to tow your vehicle, but be cautious with soft towing (using a rope) as it's less safe, especially noting that the brakes won't have power assist. 2. Requesting fuel delivery service: While you might not be able to get fuel yourself, 4S shops and some road rescue companies can obtain gasoline. In this case, you can call the manufacturer's service hotline or the 4S shop to have staff deliver some fuel. You can also call your insurance company for rescue services. 3. Dialing 110: After calling 110 and explaining the situation, the staff will arrange to deliver fuel, though fees will still apply.
I once ran out of fuel during a long-distance drive, which was really stressful, but I had to stay calm. First, I pulled over to a safe spot and turned on the hazard lights to avoid rear-end collisions. Then, I took out my phone and dialed 122, the traffic police hotline—this is the most reliable option. The operator will ask for your location and vehicle details before arranging a rescue vehicle to deliver fuel. If there's no signal, try calling 110 for emergency assistance or 114 to locate nearby gas stations. While waiting for help, never leave your car, especially at night or on highways—it's quite dangerous. I've made it a habit to check the fuel gauge every time I get in the car, and I refuel when it drops to a quarter tank. For emergencies, keeping a roadside assistance membership card handy is a smart move.
