no shortages ...all stations open and have fuel
I made "the run" last week
there is a HUGE effort to keep EVERY station full of fuel
outstanding idea

Diesel
Depends on if you need ULSD (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel) - Baja only, or LSD (Low Sulphur Diesel) - Baja Sur.....

Chuckie, You have posted on this thread twice with enormous amounts of helpful info for the OP.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you seem to be hovering over your keyboard ready to pounce and type 24/7. Why not be helpful and answer the question?
especially when you see it's their first post.. I don't get it...
Dosgringoes, Welcome to BN, You will have no problem finding fuel as Bob has replied. Bajaguy has also replied on the two types of you will get and
where. If you drive a truck that has a DPF, you will eventually have problems after running LSD diesel in a ULSD truck. How many tanks of LSD will it
take??? Mine took about 12-15 before I has issues..
Have a great trip and remember to slow down when you approach an uphill turn to the left- if a truck is coming he will most likely be partially in
your lane.
Shouldn\'t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check or Sec.8 housing?
........... I had to pass one to earn it for them!
\"I\'ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go?\"

Well, BM, I suggested the search feature because thats what it's for, and this subject in all of its various combinations was covered in great depth
just a week or so ago. It usually fractures off into discussions of low sulfur, filters etc. Trying to save the man some time. Thank you so much for
jumping in....

Thanks for the input. Haven't seen any solid info on availability since Odile in Baja Sur, thus the post. Wasn't looking for anything other than that.
Have driven down many times and I'am very familiar with my fuel requirements. Thanks.

Have a great trip, you should have no problem finding diesel per the input so far here and on other threads....The price difference is astounding isnt
it? Used to be just the reverse...

Just got home from La paz, Most Pemex stations in la paz had Diesel, but a few did not. Fill up early and often, You never know in THE BAJA
