We're on a mission to ensure no one gets stranded because they can't afford fuel. ITankU connects kindness with need—one tank at a time.
Driven by
Kindness
ITankU was born from a frustrating reality: in today's world, running out of gas isn't just an inconvenience—it's a barrier to work, school, medical appointments, and family.
Our founder experienced this firsthand when a friend was stranded at a gas station, unable to afford fuel to get home. The solution seemed obvious—why not create a simple way for people to help each other with something so basic?
What started as a small idea among friends has grown into a community of thousands, helping people across 48 states get where they need to go. Every tank sent, every person helped—we're building something bigger than ourselves.
Our vision: A world where no one is stranded because of money. Where kindness is always within reach. Where getting help—or giving it—is as simple as pumping gas.

To ensure no one gets stranded because they can't afford fuel. We connect kindness with need, making it simple for people to help each other get where they need to go—one tank at a time.
A world where kindness is always within reach. Where getting help—or giving it—is as simple as pumping gas. Where communities come together to ensure everyone gets where they need to go.
These principles guide everything we do at ITankU.
We believe in the power of kindness to change lives. Every feature we build, every decision we make, starts with kindness.
Asking for help takes courage. We protect everyone's privacy and treat every request with respect and dignity.
We're honest about how we work, where funds go, and what we achieve together. Trust is earned.
Getting or giving help should be easy. We obsess over making every interaction simple, clear, and friction-free.
We're more than an app—we're a community of people helping people. Together, we're stronger.
We don't judge why someone needs help. Everyone deserves kindness, no questions asked.
We're not just another platform. Here's what makes us different.
Every dollar you send goes directly to fuel. We never take a cut. Our platform is funded by voluntary donations.
Help arrives in seconds, not days. When someone needs fuel, every minute counts.
Request help anonymously if you choose. Your story is yours to share—or not.
850+ partner stations across 48 states. Help works wherever recipients are.
Add a personal message with every tank you send. Kindness is more meaningful with words.
