Anyone know how far down "extra low sulphur diesel" is available at Pemex stations south of the border...?
I'm planning on driving my Sprinter RV to "The Wall"/"7 sisters" area soon, but want to make sure I can get this critical type fuel for my rig...?
Thanks...

"ULTRA Low Sulphur Diesel"

Thanks for the links..!
Not many folks are aware that newer (American) diesel trucks/cars are equipped with diesel engines that can ONLY run on this new type fuel. If you own
a newer diesel and use the incorrect diesel you will not only void the vehicles warranty, but many of these vehicles will switch over to something
called the "LIMP MODE" which means it will only operate at about 25 miles per hour.
Just consider trying to drive back from Punta Abreojos at 25 miles per hour...? Hideous to contemplate.
Anyway, that's the thing I'm trying to avoid in my 2008 Sprinter RV with a 3.5 liter Mercedes diesel engine.
