$85 flat delivery fee + fuel cost (typically 10-20 liters at prevailing pump price). Overnight, weekend, and Quebec stat premiums add $30-$60. Faster and safer than trying to walk to a gas station in traffic or winter cold.

Gatineau Fuel Delivery — Emergency Gas & Diesel 24/7
Gatineau Towing connects out-of-fuel drivers with mobile fuel rigs across Gatineau and Gatineau, Ottawa, Aylmer, Hull and Buckingham. Subaru Forester dry on a rural highway, Ram 2500 with an empty DEF tank on a major arterial, Toyota Tacoma stalled on a back road, a fuel rig is on the way.
- Mobile fuel rigs 24/7
- Gas, diesel and DEF carried
- No-start diagnostics included
Empty scenarios
Common Gatineau Empty-Tank Scenarios
Empty-tank scenarios cluster around common patterns — Autoroute 5 north through Chelsea (station density drops after Highway 148 exit), Autoroute 50 east from Buckingham (long gaps between stations approaching Papineauville), late-night federal worker commutes when gauge misread combines with fatigue, and diesel drivers who chose regular gas by mistake. Federal capital region volume includes government fleet vehicles that ran dry during long shift changes.
For fuel delivery, we bring 10-20 liters — enough to reach nearest station, not full tank refill. This keeps delivery cost reasonable. Common delivery: Chelsea corridor Autoroute 5 empty tank, Buckingham east empty tank, cross-provincial Ottawa federal worker who ran dry on Portage Bridge approach. Bilingual coordination throughout. Winter fuel gel scenarios (diesel drivers with untreated fuel below -25°C) may require additional additive.
Fuel Delivery Process
Mobile Fuel Service, How It Works in 4 Steps
-
Confirm location and fuel type
Share kilometre marker or street address, vehicle make and fuel type, gas, diesel or DEF. Confirm hazards on and the rig is fully off the lane.
-
Technician arrives with the right fluid
Mobile fuel rig pulls up with 5 to 10 litres of the matching fuel and the right pour adapter for the filler neck.
-
Fluid added and engine cranked
Fuel is poured, neck cap re-seated and the engine is started. If it cranks but won't catch, basic no-start diagnostics run on scene.
-
Drive to the next open station
Technician points to the closest open station and confirms drive distance. Top up to a full tank as soon as possible.
A-5 Chelsea gap
Autoroute 5 Chelsea-to-Wakefield Rural Gatineau Fuel Response
Autoroute 5 north from Gatineau to Chelsea and Wakefield carries a 24 km fuel-station gap between Chelsea Village and the Wakefield covered bridge exit. Sunday cottage-return empties from Lac-Sainte-Marie and Cantley drive weekend evening delivery volume. Our fuel-truck operators pre-stage at the Chelsea Ultramar during Sunday 6-11 PM windows. Winter diesel-blend gelling below -25°C on the Chelsea escarpment adds an additive-injection scenario. See Gatineau roadside assistance for boost + lockout combos.
For empty-tank straight fuel delivery: $85 flat delivery + fuel cost (typically 10-20 liters at prevailing pump price). Overnight, weekend, and Quebec stat premiums add $30-$60. Wrong-fuel scenarios coordinate through standard tow to mechanic instead. Response 25-45 min for Gatineau core.

Gatineau Fuel Delivery FAQ
Cost, quantity, wrong-fuel scenarios, and response time.
10-20 liters — enough to reach nearest gas station, not full tank refill. This keeps delivery cost reasonable. If you need more, we deliver to gas station where you fill up normally.
Yes — diesel or gasoline, both delivered. Ethanol-blended gasoline available for standard vehicles. Winter fuel gel scenarios (diesel drivers with untreated fuel below -25°C) may require additional additive included.
Do NOT start engine. Wrong-fuel scenarios (gasoline in diesel, or diesel in gasoline) require tow to mechanic for fuel system flush — starting engine risks internal damage. Call for tow instead.
Gatineau core: 25-45 min. Autoroute 5 corridor: 30-60 min. Autoroute 50 east (Buckingham): 40-70 min. Cross-provincial Ottawa: 45-75 min plus bridge congestion.
