Enough to reach the station
Fuel delivery is meant to get you to a gas station, not to fill the tank. YBE brings enough fuel to reach the next station.
If the car will not restart after fuel is added, give it a few tries so the fuel system can refill. If it still will not run, the problem may not have been fuel at all.
Need This Fixed?
YBE handles this at the Capitol Heights shop, seven days a week. Read about Emergency Fuel Delivery, or call and describe what your car is doing.
Common Questions
The engine sputters, loses power and stops. Power steering and power brakes get much harder to use once the engine is off, so steer to the shoulder while the car is still moving.
Once is rarely a problem. Doing it often can shorten the fuel pump’s life, because the pump relies on fuel to keep it cool, and it can pull sediment from the bottom of the tank.
Get off the road as safely as you can, turn on your hazard lights, and stay with the car if it is safe. Then call for fuel delivery or roadside help.
The engine itself is not usually harmed. The fuel pump and filter carry the risk, especially when it happens repeatedly.
