Ran out of gas on Interstate 65, the Gene Snyder Freeway, or while idling in congested Louisville traffic? Louisville Roadside Assistance dispatches immediate emergency fuel delivery units carrying fresh, filtered 87-octane regular unleaded gasoline or Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) directly to your stalled vehicle anywhere in Jefferson County.

What is the fastest way to get emergency fuel delivery in Louisville, KY?
Louisville Roadside Assistance provides 24/7 emergency roadside fuel delivery across Louisville, KY and Jefferson County with an average arrival window of 15 to 25 minutes. Mobile units deliver 2 to 5 gallons of fresh regular unleaded gasoline or Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel directly to stalled vehicles on highways or city streets. Upfront flat delivery rates start at $60 plus fuel cost. Direct 24/7 dispatch is available at (502) 801-1907.
Running completely out of fuel on modern vehicles causes specific mechanical challenges beyond simply adding gas. In modern fuel-injected and direct-injected gasoline engines, running the tank dry can pull sediment from the bottom of the fuel tank into the primary fuel filter and cause the in-tank electric fuel pump to overheat. In diesel engines (Ford Powerstroke, Ram Cummins, Chevy Duramax, and Mercedes Sprinter), running dry introduces air into the high-pressure fuel rail and common-rail injectors, creating an airlock that prevents the engine from restarting even after fuel is added. Our technicians carry specialized fuel-line priming squeeze bulbs and bleeders to purge airlocks on diesel platforms. Furthermore, modern Ford, GM, and Chrysler vehicles feature capless fuel filler necks ('Easy Fuel' systems) that contain dual internal spring-loaded anti-siphon flaps that lock out generic gas station cans. Our service trucks carry factory-specified capless fuel funnels to dispense clean fuel without splashing or damaging filler neck sensors.
