Always make sure the gas pump reads ZEROS!


This is the second oldest pump in town, the other one is still in use.:lol:

Nothing a little WD-40 wouldn't fix.

At least they read and pump accurately.

I noticed last week that the Pemex in town is almost finished. I hope their pumps will be accurate.
Facebook has a following on the ratones that short-change between Enesenada and San Quintín.

I remember right before they shut down the Pemex station at the BOLA turn off, the attendent had to turn on a generator, and hand start the the pump, by pulling on the drive belt to get it started, like they used to pull on the prop to start the old planes. Didn't worry much about accuracy then, just whether or not they had gas. Sometimes they didn't :coolup:

That photo would make for a great jigsaw puzzle !

Most pumps in Baja are now digital, right?
