Mexican Diesel Fuel/Sulfur Effects Update
Much to my distress I just learned here in the Southern Baja that the owner of a late model GM diesel pickup paid almost $3,000 to ship his truck back to the USA when it went into limp mode (5 mph) in...

Moise,
The vehicle owner added additive to the correct reservoir.
100.00% of the diesel fuel in Baja California SUR is regular diesel originating at the Salina Cruz Refinacion in Oaxaca. It is offloaded first at the tank farm offload facility at Tompolobampo, Sinaloa then barged across the gulf to the storage facility at Pichilingue just north of La Paz. Privately owned and operated barge tugs haul the comistibles both gasolines and diesel. The Pemex chartered ship tanker then lproceeds to go to Rosarito Baja California to delivery diesel MARINA and #6 fuel oil to the CFE generation plant and load PREMIUM gasoline and sails back to Oaxaca.
Gasoline and diesel refined at the joint venture refinery in Houston is pumped to Mexicali and enters the Pemex pipeline there. Gasoline is traded between US refineries so there is no telling what the Southern Pacific pipeline is sending to Mexicali. The distribution web covers Tijuana, Rosarito and the El Sauzal tank farm.
The new gasolinera right at the border immediately north of the monumento paralelo 28 may have opened. If so, it will be the most southerly point in Baja California to dispense both UBA gasoline and refined in USA Magna and of course made in USA Premium. However the most southerly gasolinera that offers fuel dispensed with accurate pumps continues to be Antonio Munoz's Baja Cactus gasolinera in El Rosario B.C.
Hope This Helps
