Quick answer
Salazar Roadside Assistance delivers emergency gasoline and diesel 24/7 anywhere in the DFW Metroplex. We bring enough fuel to reach the nearest station, usually arriving in about 30 minutes. Call (469) 606-2575 with your location and fuel type.
Where drivers run dry in DFW
Long tolled stretches with few exits are the usual culprits — the Dallas North Tollway, the President George Bush Turnpike and the Chisholm Trail Parkway all have gaps where a low-fuel light turns into a stopped car.
The other pattern is airport-adjacent: drivers heading to DFW International or Love Field who planned to fill up after the flight and did not make it.
Safe delivery, correct fuel
We transport fuel in approved containers and fill through a spill-proof spout. Confirming gasoline versus diesel on the phone matters more than anything else on this call — misfuelling a modern engine is an expensive repair.
- Regular gasoline and diesel
- Approved transport containers
- Highway shoulder and tollway delivery
- Parking garage and lot delivery
- Restart attempt included

Straight answers
What we can and cannot fix on the roadside
Most companies leave this off their site. Knowing it before you call saves you a wasted trip and a wasted fee.
Done at your vehicle
- Delivering gasoline or diesel in approved containers to your exact location
- Fuelling on highway shoulders, tollways, garages and gated lots
- Attempting the restart and diagnosing if the engine still will not catch
Not a roadside job
- Drain or repair a misfuelled tank on the roadside — that needs a shop
- Deliver fuel into a portable container for a vehicle that is not present
- Prime every diesel fuel system on site; some require shop tooling
Limits worth knowing before you call
- Confirm gasoline versus diesel on the phone. Misfuelling is the single most expensive mistake on this call.
- We deliver enough to reach the nearest station, not to fill the tank. Ask for more and we will quote it.
- Running a tank dry can pull debris into the fuel filter; if it will not restart, we say so rather than guessing.
Minute by minute
What happens from the moment you call
Timings are averages from our own completed jobs, not promises. The dispatcher gives you a real window on the call.
Minute 0
Call with location, vehicle and fuel type; delivery fee plus fuel is quoted.
Minute 1-2
Technician assigned and rolling with the correct fuel.
About 30 minutes
Arrival and spill-proof transfer into your tank.
5 minutes on site
Restart confirmed and you are pointed at the nearest station.
Staying safe while you wait
- Pull as far off the travel lane as the shoulder allows, hazards on, wheels turned away from traffic.
- At night, stay belted inside the vehicle with the doors locked — standing on a DFW shoulder is the real danger, not the breakdown.
- Give dispatch your direction of travel plus the nearest exit or mile marker; on a divided highway the wrong side costs 15 minutes.
- If you are in a live lane and cannot move, call 911 first — they can close the lane, and we cannot.
- Stay out of the vehicle's blind side while fuel is transferred, and no smoking or open flame near the fill point.
Straight answer
Do you service my vehicle?
Yes for cars, SUVs, light trucks, EVs, commercial vans and diesel pickups. No for motorcycles and semis — we say so up front instead of sending a truck that cannot help.
Yes, we service these
- Electric vehicles. Teslas, hybrids and EVs — 12-volt battery service, tire work and lockouts, handled with the correct jack points and no tow needed for most calls.
- Commercial vans and fleet trucks. Cargo vans, box trucks and work fleets. Give dispatch the fleet or unit number and we bill the job the same flat way.
- Diesel and heavy-duty pickups. Commercial-grade jump packs and heavy-duty tire tooling ride on the truck, so a three-quarter-ton diesel is a first-trip job.
- Cars, SUVs and light trucks. The everyday roadside call — tires, batteries, jump starts, fuel and lockouts, at whatever lot or shoulder you are sitting in.
No, we do not take these
- Motorcycles. We do not take motorcycle roadside calls. Tell the dispatcher and we will point you to a motorcycle-equipped operator instead of sending a truck that cannot help.
- Semi tractors and heavy equipment. Class 8 trucks, trailers and construction equipment need heavy-duty recovery, which is a different trade and a different truck.

Answers
Emergency Fuel Delivery questions, answered
How much fuel do you deliver?
We bring enough fuel to get you safely to the nearest station — typically a few gallons. If you would like more, tell us when you call and we will quote it.
Do you deliver diesel as well as gasoline?
Yes. We deliver both gasoline and diesel. Tell us which one your vehicle takes when you call, because putting the wrong fuel in a tank creates a much bigger problem than an empty one.
What does emergency fuel delivery cost?
You pay a delivery charge plus the fuel itself, and both are quoted on the phone before we dispatch. No surcharge for nights, weekends or holidays.
Can you deliver fuel on a highway shoulder?
Yes, and it is one of our most common calls. Stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt on and hazards flashing, and give us the nearest exit or mile marker so we find you quickly.
My car will not start after running out of gas — now what?
Some vehicles, especially diesels, need the fuel system primed after running dry. Our technician will attempt the restart after fueling and diagnose it if the engine still will not catch.
