First steps
- Get off the road as far as you can and turn on the hazard lights.
- Do not keep cranking the engine. It can drain the batteries.
- Know how much fuel you need to reach the next stop.
- Ask whether the provider brings diesel, DEF or both.
What to tell the provider
Diesel or gasoline, how much fuel you need, whether you also need DEF, and your location and direction of travel.
Why it happens
Running a diesel engine dry can pull air into the fuel system, and the engine may need to be primed before it will run. Some road service companies deliver fuel, and many towing companies offer it as part of road service. Ask on the phone.
