Heading down this week to meet up with some friends. They got themselves an InReach for Christmas, but don’t seem to have it on!
Does anyone know if there is currently diesel available in BoLA? We’ll be exploring south, heading back through El Arco. Wondering if Gonzaga will
be our last opportunity to top off before hitting Hwy 1 again.
Thanks for any input!DosMars - 12-27-2021 at 03:18 AM
One more thought, how much of this storm made it down that way? Wondering how the road south is? PaulW - 12-27-2021 at 08:42 AM
Diesel availability in LAB apears to be a crap shoot based of Nomad posts.
oversize tank is the solution to unavailable diesel in BajaJZ - 12-27-2021 at 08:50 AM
Diesel has only been out once for us in BoLA.
We were able to find it in drums on MX 1 at the turn off to BoLA.
If no one answers here, maybe call Guillermo's and ask them. +52 646 239 3714.

Thanks for input, we’ve got a 44 gallon tank, only ran into lack of diesel there once so always looking for most recent info!pjpvi - 12-27-2021 at 09:49 AM
I've never had problems getting diesel in BLA. I was last there in October so not exactly current info.Bajazly - 12-27-2021 at 10:29 AM

I've lived in BoLA for better than 23 years and since the pemex stations have been here I would guess that you have a better than 98% chance that
diesel will be here when you need it. I drive a diesel truck also so I pay attention.larryC - 12-29-2021 at 08:46 AM
Update: Went to town yesterday to get gas and noticed the diesel pumps were blocked off so I asked the guy how long til the next delivery and he said
"4 to 5 days" so right now Bola has no diesel.DosMars - 1-4-2022 at 11:03 AM

Yup. Topped off in San Felipe, pulled into BoLA Pemex to find no diesel in town. Was able to make it down to Las Animas for a few days, then back to
Gonzaga with a little under a quarter of a tank.
Nice to have the cushion a big tank affords!
