Why drivers run out or misfuel on the motorway
Knowing the common causes helps you avoid them, but if it happens we are one call away.
Misjudging the range
The low-fuel light gives less warning than drivers expect, especially at motorway speeds where consumption is high. Many run dry within a few miles of the light coming on.
Faulty or stuck gauge
A failed sender or stuck gauge can read a quarter tank when the tank is empty. If your gauge behaves oddly, treat it as low and fill up early.
Grabbing the wrong pump
Diesel and petrol nozzles sit side by side. Tired or rushed, it is easy to lift the wrong one, and a single wrong fill can be an expensive mistake.
Long detours and closures
Roadworks, closures and diversions on the M25 and M11 add miles you did not plan for and can empty a tank before the next services.
How motorway fuel delivery works
From your call to a running engine, in four simple steps.
1. Call us
Tell us your direction of travel, the last junction or marker post and the fuel you need. We confirm a firm price and arrival time.
2. Stay safe
Get behind the barrier, away from traffic. A local operator heads straight to you with fresh fuel or drain equipment.
3. Fuel or drain
We add enough petrol or diesel to get you going, or drain and flush a misfuelled tank at the roadside.
4. On your way
You drive on, or if the car will not restart we recover it to a garage of your choice. No surprises.
When you need recovery, not just fuel
Most empty-tank and wrong-fuel jobs on the M25, M11 and M1 are sorted at the roadside within the hour. Sometimes, though, a misfuel has already been driven on, a fuel pump has failed, or there is another fault, and adding fuel alone will not fix it.
Because CityGrip is a full recovery service and not just a fuel van, we can switch straight to recovering your car or van to a garage of your choice, locally or long distance. You deal with one company, pay one fair price, and are not left arranging a second call-out. If your vehicle was immobilised in a non-fault accident, that recovery is free of charge to you.
Motorway coverage across the M25, M11 and M1
We cover the M25 orbital, the M11 through Essex and Hertfordshire and the southern end of the M1, together with the connecting A-roads and motorway services across London, Essex and Hertfordshire. Whether you are on the hard shoulder, in a smart-motorway refuge, or stranded in the services, a local operator is dispatched straight to you.
We work the M25 between Junctions 20 and 31, the M11 from the Redbridge roundabout up to Stansted and Bishop's Stortford, the M1 south of the M25, and the North Circular, A10, A12 and A1 that feed them. Knowing these routes means we reach you quickly and safely, even on the busiest stretches.
Motorway fuel jobs are different from town call-outs: traffic is fast, the hard shoulder is dangerous, and on smart motorways there may be no hard shoulder at all. Our operators are used to reaching stranded drivers safely on these roads, carrying fresh petrol and diesel and wrong-fuel drain equipment, and getting you moving or recovered without you having to risk the live lanes.

Motorway fuel delivery FAQs
How much does emergency fuel delivery cost?
Emergency petrol or diesel delivery starts from £95 plus the cost of the fuel itself. Wrong fuel drain and flush starts from £120. We agree the price on the phone before we set off, with no call-out fee.
How quickly can you reach me on the motorway?
We aim to reach you on the M25, M11 and M1 as quickly as traffic and your exact location allow, usually within the hour. Tell us your direction of travel, the last junction or marker post and we will find you.
Is it safe to wait on the hard shoulder?
Get well behind the barrier, away from traffic, and call 999 or use an emergency phone if you feel unsafe. On a smart motorway follow the signs. We come to you, so you do not have to move the vehicle yourself.
What do I do if I put in the wrong fuel?
Do not start the engine, and do not turn the ignition on. Call us straight away. If the engine has not run, a roadside drain and flush usually prevents any lasting damage.
Do you deliver both petrol and diesel?
Yes. We deliver fresh petrol and diesel across the motorway network and the surrounding roads, enough to get you to the next station or to your destination.
Can you help electric vehicles that run out of charge?
Yes. We cannot carry a fast charge, so we recover your EV to the nearest working charge point rather than leaving you stranded on the motorway.
