Got stuck in Al Quoz industrial area with no fuel and no idea what to do
Quote from clarissamacWhirter on October 12, 2026, 6:19 amDelivered some equipment to a warehouse off Sheikh Zayed bin Zayed Road yesterday and completely forgot to fill up beforehand, which is exactly the kind of genius move I'm known for. By the time I realised, I was deep in the industrial maze with no petrol station anywhere obvious and my phone showing 4 percent. A security guard at one of the warehouses noticed me looking lost and told me about roadside fuel delivery around Al Quoz, said his colleagues use it all the time when their delivery trucks run dry. I called and honestly expected to be waiting forever but a guy turned up in under forty minutes with a proper container, filled me up, even checked I had enough to reach the nearest station. Genuinely saved my evening. Only annoying part was the guy at the warehouse asking me three times how I managed to run out of fuel, which, fair enough.
