Emergency Fuel Delivery in Ucluelet, Tofino and Port Alberni
The West Coast has long gaps between gas stations and short hours after dark. If you ran dry on Highway 4, on a beach road, or in a campground, Ukee Towing brings enough fuel to reach the nearest open station. Available 24/7 in Ucluelet, Tofino and Port Alberni.
What our fuel delivery includes
- Gasoline or diesel delivered to your vehicle, enough to reach the nearest open station.
- Cars, pickups, RVs and campers, plus boats on trailers and small equipment on job sites.
- 24/7 service, which matters here because most stations between Port Alberni and the coast close in the evening.
- A quick check that the vehicle starts and runs before we leave. A vehicle run fully dry sometimes needs a boost or a primed fuel system, and we handle both.
- Directions to the closest open fuel so you are not driving on fumes to a closed pump.
Where people run out of fuel around here
The most common calls are the Highway 4 stretch between Port Alberni and the Tofino-Ucluelet junction, where there is no fuel for roughly 90 kilometres; the Pacific Rim Highway between the junction and Tofino, especially after evening station closures; and beach access roads and campgrounds where a long day turned into a long night. Fill up in Port Alberni before you head west, and top up in Ucluelet or Tofino before an evening drive.
What to have ready when you call
- Your location, as precisely as you can. Kilometre markers, the last landmark you passed, or a phone pin.
- Gas or diesel. Please double check; putting the wrong fuel in is a far bigger problem than running out.
- Vehicle type. Diesel pickups and RVs run fully dry may need priming, which we can do.
- Whether the vehicle is safely off the road and whether anyone needs a ride.
Fuel Delivery by Town
Ucluelet
Town, the harbour, Peninsula Road and the road out to the junction. Ucluelet fuel closes early most nights, so late calls are common.
Tofino
Pacific Rim Highway, the beaches, campgrounds and resorts. Tofino station hours are limited, and visitors often arrive on empty after the drive from Port Alberni.
Port Alberni
Highway 4 west of town past Sproat Lake, where the last fuel is behind you and the next is at the coast.
Fuel Delivery FAQs
How much fuel do you bring?
Enough to get you to the nearest open gas station, typically a few litres. Tell us where you are headed and we will make sure it covers the distance.
Do you deliver diesel?
Yes, both gasoline and diesel. Tell us which one when you call, and if the vehicle ran completely dry, mention that too so we can prime it if needed.
My car will not start after I added fuel. What now?
Some vehicles need a moment for the fuel pump to prime, and some need a battery boost after repeated cranking. We carry a boost pack and can handle both on the same call.
Is there gas between Port Alberni and Tofino?
No. There is no fuel on Highway 4 between Port Alberni and the Tofino-Ucluelet junction, a stretch of roughly 90 kilometres with hills and no services. Fill up before you leave.
Do you deliver fuel at night?
Yes, 24 hours a day. Night calls are our most common fuel delivery because coast stations close early.
Do you deliver fuel to boats or equipment?
Yes, to boats on trailers, RVs in campgrounds, and small equipment on job sites within our service area. Call with the details.
