Thinking about using mexican fuel for my 6.7l - Page 2

Landon · 07-04-2008, 08:03 AM

My Dodge pickup was made in Mexico, so shouldnt it be able to run on Mexican fuel?!?!! Its the same up here in the northern part of the country. Canadaians are coming across the border to buy fuel in the states and saving about $2 a gallon. Cant blame em.

i am all new this is stuff. i want to buy a new clean burning diesel. ford tells me that i can't put the mexican diesel in there. but recently a dodge guy told me that the regular diesel in mexico can be put into a new cummings without violating the warranty. is that true? why does ford say no and dodge says yes? a mystery. help out a green-horn.

Unless you already have it, I would think the cost of insurance would far out way any savings from the fuel purchase.

what about running off road diesel in the 6.7's? Can you run it without a dpf delete or with a delete?

look at all the dpf clogging up from ulsd here, its not the fuel its the design of the pos dpf you can run lsd and red diesel in the 6.7 with no problems I have done it and alot of others also have with no problems I hate it when people so the dpf clogs up it doesnt it fills up with soot like it is suppose to do then burns it off, then the problem comes with the ecm not working right burning it off so they replace hoping that will fix it. enough of my rantin on this subject

Mexico has strict new laws regarding buying and exporting of diesel. If you have secondary tanks that are filled your truck will most likely be impounded for awhile. Not worth the hassle.
