Emergency Fuel Delivery on the M20

Running dry between service stations is more common than people admit, and on a motorway it leaves you stranded in a dangerous spot with no safe way to walk for fuel. We bring fresh petrol or diesel straight to you, enough to reach the next filling station, and for diesels we bleed and prime the system so the engine restarts.

The M20 runs 50 miles from Swanley (M25) to Folkestone through Kent, with 13 junctions and service stations at Maidstone. Traffic is heavily influenced by Channel Tunnel operations; Operation Brock contraflow can cause severe delays, and freight traffic is dense at all times. Wherever your vehicle stops along that route, our nearest fuel delivery driver is dispatched from Maidstone to reach you fast.

Why vehicles need fuel delivery on the M20

From our call-out data on the M20, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Lengthy delays during Operation Brock contraflow causing overheating and fuel starvation
HGV breakdowns due to heavy international freight traffic
Brake wear on the steep descent from the North Downs towards Folkestone
Crosswind incidents near the exposed Channel Tunnel approach

Emergency Fuel Delivery at the M20's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M20 where we are called out most often, and where we keep fuel delivery resources close at hand:

Junctions 8-9 (Operation Brock contraflow zone near Ashford), when activated, the 30mph contraflow with concrete barriers causes overheating from low-speed running, wing-mirror damage from narrow lanes, and fuel starvation from unexpected delays lasting hours

Junction 11A-13 (Folkestone descent from the North Downs), the steep gradient overheats brakes on heavily laden freight vehicles descending towards the Channel Tunnel; the combination of gradient and frequent stop-start traffic is particularly punishing

Junction 1 (M25/Swanley interchange), the merge with M25 traffic creates persistent congestion; vehicles that have been queuing on the M25 often enter the M20 already running hot

M20 Emergency Fuel Delivery FAQ

How quickly can you reach my vehicle on the M20?

Our nearest fuel delivery driver for the M20 is dispatched from Maidstone, with more drivers positioned across Kent. We typically reach you between Swanley (M25) and Folkestone within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic and your junction.

Where on the M20 do you provide fuel delivery?

Every junction and service station on the M20, all 13 junctions from Swanley (M25) to Folkestone, plus the hard shoulder, smart-motorway emergency refuge areas, and the slip roads at Maidstone.

How much fuel do you deliver?

We typically deliver 5 to 10 litres of petrol, which is enough to reach the nearest filling station. If you need a larger quantity, please let us know when you call and we will do our best to accommodate.

Is the fuel included in the price?

The call-out fee covers our attendance and the service. The fuel is charged at cost on top of the call-out fee. This means you only pay for the fuel you receive, at a fair price.

What if I have put the wrong fuel in?

If you have put diesel in a petrol car, please do not start the engine. This requires a fuel drain, not a fuel delivery. Please see our wrong fuel drain service for help with misfuelling incidents.
