Diesel in Bahia de los angels
¡Hola! Amigos
We are waiting for the diesel since Friday here in Bay LA. They keep saying ‘mañana’
Any tips if someone is selling here? We got for 100km and need to go south.
Cheers!

Haha manana . Doesn't mean tomorrow it just means not today. Start letting the locals know your problem. Might be surprised were help can come from.

Xitlali market at the south end of town is one of the few places with a large generator, I do not know of it is gas or diesel. Not much in town runs
on diesel so they don't seem to order any until it runs out. Maybe manana.

What about ships that call at Bahía de los Angeles? Is marine diesel not compatible with automotive diesel? Maybe too high a sulfur content?

I took a few multi-day boating trips out of BOLA in the 80s and 90s when fuel of ANY type was sketchy at the one Pemex that the Diaz's seemed to run.
Diesel didnt arrive until many years later, but we were able to contract with a local to run to Jesus Maria with our fuel cans and get us some
diesel for the late 90s Cummins we towed a boat down with. It should be very easy to find someone to do the same with one of those 12 gallon outboard
tanks that many pangueros use.

I had 610 gallons delivered last week, but I don't think the hose will reach..Maybe I can locate a ship headed that way?

Put a natural gas conversion on your truck engine and davidk’s gas-bag-osity could fuel you to the moon and back! 
Another alternative is to collect fryer grease and refine your own bio-diesel
Next time drive a gasoline-powered Toyota, like a Prius hybrid!

Happens regularly at the Bay. Always fuel up as soon as you get into town. Don't wait till you leave. Best move I made was putting in a 60 gallon tank
in bed of my truck. Jesus Maria isn't too far.
