If I carry an additional tank I can fill it from the tap and add chlorine to sanitize. Then I have a 4 stage water filter that filters down to .5micron then treats with UV before depositing it in the primary tank.
How far is the run from Mazatlan to San Blas? I am ok with 300+ mile runs between fuel stops.
One of the reasons I considered additional fuel is the likelihood of varying fuel prices and leveraging the lower cost fills.
Diesel is currently $4.29 a gallon here. 50 miles down the road it is $3.71 a gallon. I know there will be significant variance in fuel cost on the US portions of the trip. Is the same true in Mexico? Or are the prices more consistent?
Thanks
