Emergency Fuel Delivery on the M56

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 M56 runs 33 miles from Sharston, Manchester (M60) to Chester (A5117) through Greater Manchester, Cheshire, with 16 junctions and service stations at Knutsford. Busiest around Manchester Airport (J5-6) and at the M6 interchange (J9), with heavy commuter traffic into Manchester during peak hours. Wherever your vehicle stops along that route, our nearest fuel delivery driver is dispatched from Manchester to reach you fast.

Why vehicles need fuel delivery on the M56

From our call-out data on the M56, the issues that most often leave drivers needing recovery on this route are:

Airport traffic congestion causing overheating near Junction 5
Fog on the low-lying Cheshire sections, especially in autumn
Tyre damage from road surface deterioration in heavily trafficked sections
Electrical issues from stop-start queuing at the M6 interchange

Emergency Fuel Delivery at the M56's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M56 where we are called out most often, and where we keep fuel delivery resources close at hand:

Junction 5 (Manchester Airport), the airport access junction handles millions of passengers and 24-hour freight operations; early morning surges from charter flight departures and late-night arrivals create unusual peak patterns; stressed, fatigued drivers unfamiliar with the area cause minor collisions

Junction 9 (M6 interchange at Lymm), the convergence of M56 east-west traffic with M6 north-south flows creates severe congestion; vehicles that have been queuing on the M6 enter the M56 already overheating; the weaving required to navigate the interchange causes hesitation and shunts

Junctions 6-7 (Hale Barns to Knutsford, Cheshire plain), low-lying dairy farmland with glacial meres generates autumn fog that appears in deceptive patches; the fog can be dense in one spot and clear 500 metres later, causing dangerous speed variations

Every junction and service station on the M56, all 16 junctions from Sharston, Manchester (M60) to Chester (A5117), plus the hard shoulder, smart-motorway emergency refuge areas, and the slip roads at Knutsford.

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.
