If you have run out of fuel in Providence, call Providence Towing at (401) 249-4432 and state the fuel type, gasoline or diesel, before anything else. Putting the wrong fuel in a tank is the costly mistake. Ask for the price of the delivery and the fuel before dispatch is confirmed.
The expensive part of an empty tank is not the delivery. It is putting the wrong fuel in. Gasoline poured into a diesel tank, or the reverse, can wreck an injection system, so say the fuel type first and check the filler cap or door if you are unsure.
If you have already added the wrong fuel, do not start the engine. Call for a tow instead of a delivery.
What do I tell dispatch about the fuel?
Fuel type, and the grade if your owner's manual requires premium. Say whether the car is a hybrid, since the engine may restart in ways you do not expect. Give an exact location, including the side of the road and which way the car faces.
Ask how much fuel the delivery brings. A small amount is enough to reach a station, and it is not a full tank.
Why won't it start even after fuel goes in?
A car run completely dry has to refill its fuel lines before it will fire. Turn the key to the on position, wait a few seconds, then try again. Diesel engines often need the system bled as well, and not every driver can do that at the roadside.
A fuel gauge that read some fuel but the car stalled anyway means the problem may not be empty at all. Say so on the call.
What does fuel delivery cost around Providence?
Ask for a total that includes both the fuel and the service charge. The published figures we can cite belong to towing, where most local operators list about $75–$250, and a fuel run is a different job priced on its own.
If you are close to a station and the car is safe where it sits, a walk with a can may cost less than anyone's call-out.
Do you deliver diesel as well as gasoline?
Ask when you call (401) 249-4432, and name the fuel before anything else. Availability can differ by fuel type, so confirm it first.
I put the wrong fuel in. What now?
Do not start the engine. Call for a tow, because running the engine spreads the wrong fuel through the system.
Will I be told the price before you come?
Ask for it on the call and get the figure before agreeing to dispatch.
