I always run it down to empty before I fill up so I watch the gallon counter and slow down when I think I'm close.

I've had one or two splashbacks but I always stand at a right angle to the filler anyway, to avoid such incidents.

Just read on the Dieselstop forum some So.Cal diesel pickup owners are crossing the border to Mexico and filling up on their $2.00 a gallon diesel. I wonder what Mexican reg.unleaded is going for?

I wonder what Mexican quality is!

I dont care what mex quality is, these things can burn organic vegetable oil, i dont think it matters. As long as its called diesel and made of petroleum distillates

Thats the problem of why so many are dying, nobody knows that the need quality fuel.

The fuel in Mexico (high volume fuel docks) is WAY better than it used too be.
