YOGYAKARTA - Toll roads make it easy for long trips smoothly and comfortably, but there are more preparations. In addition to the adequacy of e-toll balances, make sure the fuel is sufficient because the distance between gas stations is sometimes quite far. Fill in fuel before the toll gate so as not to run out of gas on toll roads. However, if you experience a situation of running out of gas on toll roads, do the following tips to overcome this.

PT Pertamina provides mobile or motorist fuel services to help vehicles running out of fuel in the middle of the road. Motorists will work by picking up the ball when a vehicle runs out of gas.

The existence of Pertamina's motorist service is very helpful for motorists who experience problems with running out of gas on toll roads. This service is of course very much needed during Eid homecoming. Pertamina will provide hundreds of motorist units during homecoming and backflow. This service will be operated along the Java and Sumatra toll roads.

If you run out of gas on the toll road, you can contact motorist services to get fuel supplies. Call call center 135 and share your location to stop. You just have to wait, then motorists will send fuel as requested.

Mobile fuel personnel will be on standby for 24 hours at the rest area gas station. This service also provides delivery services for all types of fuel. Motorized personnel will work using vehicles equipped with jerry cans up to 60 liters capacity.

It's lucky if you run out of gas in a location close to a resident's village. Usually there are toll points close to public roads, rice fields, and settlements.

You can leave your vehicle for a moment, to look for residents who can be found near the toll road barrier. Don't forget to lock the vehicle when left so that your luggage is safe. Ask the person you meet to buy gasoline. Give wages for the services that have been provided by the person.

The next tip to overcome running out of gas on toll roads is to fill fuel in the rest area. When the car's fuel approaches to run out, there are signs that the driver can see. If the gasoline indicator light is on or already in position E, then the gasoline is only 3-5 liters.

So if your car shows these signs, immediately look for the nearest gas station to fill up with gasoline. All rest areas are equipped with gas stations, including a type B rest area. Pertamina provides Pertashop in a rest area where there are no gas stations.

Those are the tips that must be done when you run out of gas on toll roads. Although there are a number of ways to overcome this, it is better for you to prepare sufficient fuel from home so that you don't run out of gasoline while on toll roads.
