Fuel Delivery

Out of gas in Corpus Christi? Fuel comes to you.

Diesel delivery in Corpus Christi and gasoline delivery both work the same way: an operator brings up to five gallons to wherever the vehicle stopped, pours it in, and you drive to the next station. The published rate is $75 for the call plus the cost of the fuel. Quick Tow Corpus Christi matches fuel calls across the Coastal Bend to operators who run mobile delivery, for drivers who run dry on the freeway, in a parking lot, or anywhere a walk to the nearest station is unsafe or impractical. Diesel and premium can be routed if you say which one you need when you call, which matters for a work truck on US-77 with no truck stop in sight. The fuel delivery service Coastal Bend drivers call when the tank hits empty is Quick Tow Corpus Christi.

What do drivers ask about Fuel Delivery?

Can I get diesel delivery near me in Corpus Christi?

Yes. Diesel delivery runs across the Coastal Bend the same as gasoline, and it matters here because of how much work-truck and oilfield traffic moves on US-77, SH-44 and US-181. Say 'diesel' at the start of the call so the right fuel comes out. Diesel and premium are available with advance notice.

How much does mobile fuel delivery cost in Corpus Christi?

The posted flat service fee is $75, plus the cost of the fuel itself, charged at what the operator pays - no markup on the gas. Most calls total $90-$110 for 2-3 gallons. There is no extra charge for nights, weekends, holidays, or freeway calls.

How much fuel gets brought out?

Up to 5 gallons of regular unleaded. That is enough to reach any gas station in the Coastal Bend and have a buffer left over. Nobody delivers more than 5 gallons, because once you can make it to a real pump you should refuel properly - filling a vehicle from jerry cans is slow and you do not want to do it on a freeway shoulder.

Is diesel delivery available in Corpus Christi?

Yes, across Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend, for diesel trucks, work vehicles, RVs, and equipment that run dry. Say it is diesel when you call so a truck stocked for it goes out. Diesel and premium can take longer, since the operator may need to fuel up first. No kerosene, racing fuel, or E85.

What if I am on the freeway?

Stay in the vehicle with seatbelts fastened and hazards on. Give your closest exit number, the freeway, and your direction of travel. Freeway shoulder calls are routine - SPID, I-37, US-181, US-77, SH-44, and the Crosstown. DPS may also stop by if traffic is hazardous; that is normal.

What if my EV ran out of charge - can someone 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, at the standard EV-tow rate.

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

No. This is pay-per-call - no membership fee, no waiting for enrollment, no AAA card. If you have AAA roadside, call them first since they may cover the call. If you don't, save the annual fee and call here.
