It will not hurt your truck. As for the scare tactics about water in the fuel, not going to happen. They still have to use the same fuel to run their diesel equipment and theirs will not run on wet fuel any better then ours. So there is no advantage, now if you see a pump at the PeMex station that says Gringo's Only well you may want to avoid that pump.

Go for it. I passed thru El Paso a few weeks back on vacation, and would sure have liked to been able to buy diesel at that price. Keep us posted.

Later, Tony

Wink Sell me some?

If It were me, I would buy it in cans or a tank/barrel with a transfer pump with a filter/separator, of some sort (whatever you need to get around customs) Run it through a filter/separator first, at the station or at home. As for the sulfur your engine should love it! Its what they were designed for! I would think that the fuel would just fine , lots of other countries run allot more diesel rigs than here. Probably fine, but.......... You can always put an extra filter separator on the truck.

PS. Be careful, the border and border towns(Mexico side) are getting crazy! I would take my friends Smith and Wesson along for support.

PSS. if it is dyed at all then you might be forced to pay a fine or back taxes if they catch you!

PSSS. If its good stuff, rent a water truck!

Thats my .02

Leave the firearms at home, they are illegal in Mexico and you will go to prison if caught at the border.
