- So will that mean ULSD diesel will be available at these Gulf stations?
JerBear - I will add another ignorant response - because I am ignorant of what is written about - and I know I am not stupid - but in order to gain needed intelligence so that I am no longer ignorant of what was discussed I would need a cohesive and intelligent discussion that provides information anyone of reasonable intelligence would understand and thereby no longer be ignorant - but instead we have a bunch of gobbledygook nonsense no one with any sense at all would ever be able to understand - information needs to be clear and concise in a manner anyone can understand - not a bunch of jive talk.
- Very ignorant responses which is par for the course. Try refuting with facts not disparagement - Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

big surprize- Very misleading post.
- Mexican refineries are operating at <40% capacity because of neglect if they are pushed harder they blow up. The government robs the Pemex treasury leaving next to nothing for maintenance and improvements. This is why I sneered at the idea that UBA Diesel "Was just around the corner". As things blow up, capacidad refinacion is going to decrease even further. This is why Mexico offered to trade two barrels of Maya crude for one barrel of sweet fracked US crude. The light sweet crude is much easier to refine. Hydrogen plants, hydrocrackers, and cat cracker) feed hydrocrackers are delicate monsters as depicted when one blew up near Reynosa killing a bunch of workers and destroying the hydrocracker unit. Mexicos refineries are accidents waiting to happen. But all profit goes to Pemex and flying in one window and out the other, head straight for greedy hands.
Environmental disasters are rife. Poor people drill holes in pipelines to rob the gasoline, and if a "pig*" passed through and there is now fuel oil being piped it goes all over the ground until pressure loss forces the line to shut down. What a freaking mess.
*Pigs are sealing plugs that are inserted in pipelines and separate different products. - I found another . . . http://www.comanchetrailpipelinefacts.com/ . . . so that could be the two - looks like they will be natural gas - looks like both will service areas along the route and then enter Mexico - could be for electric power stations in Mexico converting to natural gas? More research?
- I have no idea what this means - we were just in Van Horn, TX and the woman at the RV park said at least 1,000 pipeline workers are expected in Van Horn over the next few weeks. There was a welder there who said he is working on a 40" pipeline going down to Mexico. There will be two pipelines - one to Mexico and one from Van Horn to El Paso. I have no idea at this point what will go through the pipelines as I forgot to ask - could be crude or natural gas or refined fuel??? And I don't know the actual starting point or completion point of these pipelines either. Just seems someone is getting busy for some reason.
- If some of the foreign owned stations in Canada are an example we can look forward to even dirtier facilities.
