That's how the drug runners fuel their planes on remote fields. You can get into a lot of trouble if they catch you siphoning gas out of your plane in MX.....dt

I was afraid that was the answer----Hmmmmmmmmmm----so once again the 1000's of legitimate folks get punished for the possible "control" of the few bad-guys----------this is the type of Law Enforcement that has sent me ballistic for years, and IMO is bad policy!! It reminds me of the gov'ment closing down many desert roads to EVERYBODY because a few knotheads drive carelessly-------Punish the many for the control of the few------never has made sense to me.

A small correction to Charlie's comments on our conversation today. I was able to buy 10 gals of av gas in La Paz after being turned down flat in San Jose del Cabo. This was 3-4 yrs ago. I had to take a letter to several government offices in La Paz for signatures before I was able to buy the av gas.

I had run my plane low enough on fuel that I did not want to risk flying back to La Paz and run out. I had all my plane paperwork from entering Baja and I knew some of the people at La Paz. It was still somewhat of an orderal. Bottom line, don't put yourself in this position. FF
