Fuel Delivery

Out of gas in San Diego? Fuel brought to you.

Quick Tow SD covers mobile fuel delivery across San Diego County for drivers who run dry on the freeway, in a parking lot, or anywhere a walk to the nearest station is unsafe or impractical. The trucks we dispatch carry up to 5 gallons of regular unleaded for emergencies, and dispatch can route a diesel or premium-rated tank if you call ahead. The driver pours, you start the engine, and you make it to the next station. No tow needed in most cases.

What do homeowners ask about Fuel Delivery?

How much does mobile fuel delivery cost in San Diego?

You pay a service fee plus the cost of the fuel delivered. Dispatch quotes both before the truck rolls, so ask for the total and check it against the invoice.

How much fuel do you bring?

Up to 5 gallons of regular unleaded. That is enough to get you to any gas station in San Diego County and have a buffer left over. More than 5 gallons is not sold, because once you can make it to a real pump you should refuel properly. Filling a vehicle from jerry cans is slow and a freeway shoulder is the wrong place to do it.

Do you bring diesel or premium?

Yes, with advance notice. Call dispatch, tell us what you need, and a truck stocked with that fuel gets routed to you. Expect it to take longer than a standard call, because the operator may need to fuel up first. Kerosene, racing fuel, E85, and specialty blends are not carried.

What if I am on the freeway?

Stay in the vehicle with seatbelts fastened and hazards on. Tell us your closest exit number, the freeway, and your direction of travel. Freeway shoulder calls go out every day on I-5, I-15, I-8, I-805, the 52, 78, 56, and 163. CHP may also stop by if traffic is hazardous; that is normal.

What if my EV ran out of charge - do you bring electricity?

No. There is no equivalent of a portable charger that can give an EV meaningful range in a few minutes on the side of the road, the physics are different. If your EV is out of charge, the right move is a flatbed to the nearest Supercharger or Level-3 station, and that is dispatched as a standard EV tow.

Do I have to be AAA to call for fuel delivery?

No. Quick Tow SD is pay-per-call: no membership fee, no waiting for enrollment, no need to be a AAA member. If you have AAA roadside, call them first since they will reimburse the call. If you don't, save the annual fee and call us direct.
