Traveling to Mexico

Taking the company 04 PSD CC F250 to Mexico, so my question is the diesel out in Mexico the same quality as the diesel in the US? Do I need to buy addivities? Will any problems occur with additing the Mexican diesel? Anything else I should be aware while traveling out in Mexico? Is diesel stations available or will there be scares. Heading to Monterrey Mexico,

Fill up in the larger cities and you should be fine. Just for fun, you could wrap a pair of nylons over the nozzle when you fill up and see if you catch anything.

make sure you have your insurance staightened away, since auto insurance doesnt cover mexico. also keep an eye on your stuff, and maybe carry a few dollars to pay off the cops if you get in trouble or pulled over. not a lot of money but a little.

The exhaust soot smells like beans, and you suddenly have the urge to pack 9 of your friends into your supercab truck

Its a JOKE.

I would take off your license plates and put them in the window they sometimes get stolen. Lock everything up and don't let your truck out of your sight.

Practice draining the water seperator. That way you can do it on the side of the road, in the rain, at night.!! Maybe even take a replacement fuel filter. Air psi in spare tire to max! you can always let it out if needed. Bring back quart bottles of Vanillia. (Dark or Black bottles) for the ladies [cooks] in your life. "The exhaust soot smells like beans" HeHe Thats a good one. have fun

Please grow up. It is a joke.

I apologize that my job here isn't to appease your idea of racial equality.

Markevil, you need to lighten up, there was nothing derogatory in that statement, needless to say that you, the other FTE members, and I know that it was a joke........
