Diesel fuel


How simple is not everything in Sweden, going by car you refuel at a gas station, going by sea you refuel at a marine gas station. Already when we were in the U.S., we were warned of the bad diesel quality we would get down there in Mexico (where all thought we were going) so we bought a baja filter (pronounced baha). This filter is on three levels, large particles get stuck, then smaller and finally water. It's good, just takes some time to run through. What we did not then know was that we also needed to obtain a lot of cans for transporting diesel fuel in. In the last months we have refuelled by going with the diesel cans in a taxi or rental car. There are no marine gas stations here. Everybody lugging around their cans. It is not very environmentally friendly since it is impossible to fill without spilling a drop.
