Yes Ed. I proofed the link only to find my computer locked up. So I redid it again and proofed it again. The problem seems to be here in Mexico with overloaded ties to outside the country.
Xavier told me 3 months ago that the Salina Cruz refinacion had grading work done next to the hydrocracker but not one load of steel nor vessels were brought in to make a Delayed Coker, the essential first step in extracting carbon or sulfur.
There were sulfuric acid precipitation vessels installed for manufacturing UBA Premium but zero has been done to reduce the level of sulfur in Magna.
The areas most affected by the no-show desulfurization vessels in Salina Cruz are ports up and down the West Coast. Xavier said "When you see extraneous gasolineras from Mazatlan to Tapachula then UBA diesel becomes a reality. UBA diesel from Salina Cruz is a lie" He told me that AMLO is especially directing efforts to get Salina Cruz straightened out. At the moment the refinacion is producing normal diesel in normal amounts and they are unwilling to cut back production. Therefore the only UBA present is premium gasoline. Pemex has no plans at all for extraneous gasolineras from Lazaro Cardenas, southward to Guatemala. SEMPRA was denied permission to build port facilities at Lazaro Cardenas even though hundreds of acres of open land are available. SEMPRA is the largest distributor of Chevron fuels. We can only hope BP has a chance there.
My experience is the gasolineras from Lazaro southward are some of the crookedest in the country.
My big hope is that AMLO fulfills his promises. Better fuels and litros completos are a god given right, not a luxury.
