Emergency Fuel Delivery on the M42

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 M42 runs 40 miles from Bromsgrove (M5) to Ashby-de-la-Zouch (A42) through Worcestershire, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, with 14 junctions and service stations at Tamworth. Extremely busy between Junctions 3A and 7A, particularly during NEC events and Birmingham Airport peak times; this section frequently operates under smart motorway managed speeds. Wherever your vehicle stops along that route, our nearest fuel delivery driver is dispatched from Solihull to reach you fast.

Why vehicles need fuel delivery on the M42

From our call-out data on the M42, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Severe congestion near Birmingham Airport and the NEC during events and rush hours
Smart motorway confusion leading to incidents in managed sections
Overheating in stop-start traffic between Junctions 3A and 7
Battery drain from prolonged slow-speed running

Emergency Fuel Delivery at the M42's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M42 where we are called out most often, and where we keep fuel delivery resources close at hand:

Junctions 3A-7 (Solihull to M6 interchange, smart motorway section), all-lane running with no hard shoulder through the busiest section; breakdowns in live lanes are dangerous and common; overheating from chronic stop-start congestion is the primary cause

Junction 6 (Birmingham Airport/NEC), the airport access junction handles millions of passengers yearly; NEC event traffic adds massive surges; the combination of unfamiliar airport traffic and high volumes causes minor collisions and congestion-related overheating

Junction 7-7A (M6/M6 Toll interchange), one of the most complex junctions in the Midlands where M42, M6, and M6 Toll traffic all weaves; the sheer number of lane changes needed causes hesitation, sudden braking, and shunts

Where on the M42 do you provide fuel delivery?

Every junction and service station on the M42, all 14 junctions from Bromsgrove (M5) to Ashby-de-la-Zouch (A42), plus the hard shoulder, smart-motorway emergency refuge areas, and the slip roads at Tamworth.

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.
