|  Mexico and Diesel fuel ???????
Hola, 
Does anyone know what the price of diesel is in Mexico and what is the closest fuel pump in Mexico by boat? Ensenadad?
Would it affect an older Perkins Diesel turbo?
Thanks for your help

Hey Rod,
I hear you, I'm think even getting 600 gal would pay off. I found a Baja web site, they have diesel listed at 1.85 and gas at 2.10. I wonder what it is at the marinas. Paying half what it is here sounds good, make a fun trip out of it.

Last year it was about $1.85 for diesel at the Coral Marina. I believe that the price is about the same now.

try posting in the mex reports forum, i drove down just a couple of months ago, and the gasoline was basically the same price as it is here, so i would assume diesel would be about what it is here.

While on this subject how much diesel can you bring back across the border? Not thinking about boats but with a pickup truck.

The price of regular non leaded yesterday was $2.25 per gallon on the street, although some of the marinas have started to add 15% on, unjustifiably.
Diesel should be a little cheaper. Sorry I don't have the exact number.

I heard $2.12 for diesel at the Coral a few days ago. The poster also said it ended up being higher than he was originally quoted. Do they dye the marine stuff down there? I'm considering putting a 100 gallon tank in the bed of my truck. If I troll back, I get about the same mileage in the boat as I do towing it. If I do tow down and top off the tank, I can use it to keep the boat topped off for the local trips.
