1. Get Safely Out of Traffic
If your car is safely parked out of traffic, leave it parked while you arrange fuel. If it's stopped on the road or shoulder, turn on your hazard lights if they work and check your surroundings before deciding where to wait. Getting out beside fast-moving traffic can be dangerous; so can remaining in a car stopped in an exposed position. Choose the safest available place for you and your passengers. If you're in immediate danger, call 911.
Don't try to push the car through traffic. If you can't move it safely, explain where it's stopped when you call for help.
2. Check Whether You're Actually Out of Fuel
An empty gauge followed by sputtering or a stalled engine points to a fuel problem, but it doesn't prove that's the cause. If the gauge shows fuel remaining or you noticed other warning signs, tell us what happened when you call. Adding gasoline won't solve every reason a car stops running.
Avoid repeatedly trying to start the car if the tank is empty. Once you suspect you've run out of gas, focus on getting fuel safely instead of continuing to crank the engine.
3. Decide How to Get Gasoline to the Car
If a friend or family member is available, they may be able to bring the correct gasoline in an approved fuel container. Tell them where you're stopped and what fuel your vehicle requires. Don't use a drink bottle or another improvised container. It may leak, break, or deteriorate, and spilled gasoline and its vapors can catch fire.
Getting fuel yourself is only an option if you have a safe route, a suitable container, and a safe arrangement for anyone traveling with you. A nearby gas station on a map doesn't necessarily mean you can reach it safely on foot. Don't walk along a busy highway or leave passengers exposed to cold weather while searching for gas.
When adding fuel, keep the engine off and cigarettes, flames, and sparks away. Use the correct fuel from an approved container and follow your vehicle's instructions for portable refueling. Some capless systems require a specific funnel supplied with the vehicle; check your manual before pouring anything in.
If you're alone, stranded after dark, or unable to get fuel safely, call Rexburg Lock & Key at (208) 483-1153 for gasoline delivery.
