What to Do When Your Car Runs Out of Fuel on Malaysian Roads

Running out of fuel while driving is stressful. One moment you’re cruising, the next your car slows down and stops. In Malaysia — especially somewhere unfamiliar — it can feel even more worrying if you’re in a Singapore-registered car.

That’s why having MyMechanic just a call away makes all the difference.

Stay Calm and Get Safe

Don’t panic. Turn on your hazard lights so other drivers can see you. Move your car to the side of the road or a safe spot away from traffic if possible. On highways, it’s safer to remain inside your vehicle while waiting for help.

Call MyMechanic for Help

Once you’re safe, call MyMechanic. We can:

• Deliver fuel directly to your car so you don’t have to walk
• Help restart your car if it stalled
• Guide you to the nearest petrol station if needed

Knowing help is on the way makes a big difference and keeps you safe.

Safety Tips While Waiting

• Stay inside your car if traffic is busy
• Keep hazard lights on at all times
• Avoid walking along highways — it’s risky
• Stay in contact with our team and keep your phone handy

How to Avoid Running Out of Fuel

• Fill up before long trips, especially in rural areas
• Refuel when gauge drops below a quarter tank
• Check petrol station locations along your route
