I don't know if Mexico is into ULSD fuel, but you might want to consider adding some 2 stroke oil to your fuel to regain the lubricity that has been lost by taking the Sulphur out. I run 1 oz per gallon just as cheap insurance for my IP.

Many years ago I ran Mexican diesel and that stuff was just horrible. Had to filter the heck out of it. I used a Racor filter as a final water separator.

Nice rig!
