ULSD availability
I know this has gone around before, but I can't find it. Ive read that ULSD is available only down to EL Rosario, and I've also read that it is
available throughout Baja at the larger stations. Which case is true? {contemplating a new truck}
Thanks in advance,
I yam what I yam and that\'s all what I yam.

Testing
Bob.....somebody on this board, in one of the zillion posts on this topic, said he tested, or had it tested (from Jesus Maria) and it was
ULSD........I'm sure someone with plenty of time could do a search using the search function on Nomads and find it.......maybe there is a video of
it...............

Last year the owner of a 2007 1/2 truck brought down a test kit for ULSD. He found the station at Jesus Maria did in fact have ULSD. The fuel in Baja
Sur comes from La Paz and tests bad for ULSD. It would appear that the fuel in North Baja was good last year, we would really like to know if anyone
has tested the fuel this year? He filled a drum at Jesus Maria and used that to fill his truck to return North. Any testing done this year?

If the tanker trucks come SOUTH from Ensenada to Villa Jesus Maria (and Bahia de los Angeles)... then it is ULSD as that is what the Ensenada fuel
depot has.
If the tanker comes north from La Paz and Santa Rosalia, and crosses north over the state border line (the Eagle Monument) to Villa Jesus Maria...
then it is whatever the Baja Sur depot stocks.
