map of diesel
Is there a map of Diesel location in BAJA? I searched and could not find one. Sorry if this has been asked before.
Thanks

diesel available at most all of the primary gas stations, available in all of the principal towns/cities.
what area are you worried about finding diesel?
Woke!

You could tell us where you are going and what highways you plan to drive.

It would be faster and easier to tell you where there is NO diesel.
Hwy 1, Top off in El Rosario.
Hwy 5, Top off in San Felipe.
It would be hard to run out if you did that. Excluding off road exploring.

Remembering my '86 F-250 gas and the extra fuel cans strapped to the truck so we (I) could rest easy going the back way. Never passing an open station
with under 1/2 tank. Good times.
In 1999 I got my first 7.3 and it came with 550+ range.
Then gas stations started multiplying. Glory days.

Haven't been in 3+ years, but I always had 10+ gals of gas or diesel extra in the back of the truck. Now days chatolj's response is about right. Top
off in those locations and whenever you are at a half or less. If you want to go off road --carry extra--always.

It is best to cross into Baja with empty cans and fill them at a Mexican station. Most of the time, the border agents don't really look at my stuff,
but a full can of fuel could be confiscated, or additional fees or fines added to import it.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Yes, I forgot to mention to cross with empty containers. I always filled them up at my first fuel stop--usually around Ensenada.
