It can not only happen to you to rush the reservation. Running out of battery in winter, in operations out or in a frost can be more frequent than you imagine.
If you run out of gas, you can’t transport the fuel in just any container. You need an approved drum.
Doing it in any other container can be very dangerous and it can also be very expensive: carrying gasoline in plastic bottles or similar is fined up to 3,000 euros.
Remember that it is a dangerous merchandise. In addition, running out of gasoline can damage a car’s engine, especially those with diesel mechanics.
Waiting for the Civil Guard to help you may not be a good idea. It is true that they cannot fine you for running out of gas, but they will if you have had to leave the car “pulled” on the road or poorly marked.
If you are going on a trip, we recommend that you always carry a gasoline can (empty, of course) in the car.
Take note of these practical models:

The red model has a 34% discount on Amazon, so it stays at 10 euros: four euros less than the black version.
heart
heart
This bag can compete with jerrycans. It stands out for its price, less than 7 euros, and for its comfortable format that fits in any glove compartment.
It can also be used in emergency situations to transport water, since it is a disposable format. It only has a capacity of 8 liters.
Obviously, it is not as safe and resistant as other models made of thermoplastic polyurethane, but these bags can cost more than 100 euros.
TAYG
TAYG
Since you have to go to the gas station on foot with your can, at least fill the tank or almost: this Tayg brand can has a capacity of 30 liters.
It is approved for the transport of fuel. In addition, its orange color will allow you to see how much liquid is left inside.
Amazon has it for sale with a 17% discount, so it stays below 19 euros. It comes with a flexible tube to facilitate refueling.
HÜNERSDORFF
HÜNERSDORFF
This is one of the best valued bottles on Amazon (4.4 stars out of a maximum of 5) and is now on sale for less than 16 euros.
It has two refueling tubes of different diameters, since not all car tanks are the same.
In addition, you will have to add gasoline in emergency situations, so any help is little. It has a capacity of 5 liters.
You will also find these types of drums at gas stations, but they know that you are buying them urgently and they are usually much more expensive.
