A local TV channel in San Antonio, Tx, reported last night a story about a couple from Eagle Pass, TX who regularly cross the Mexico border to partake of cheap diesel. So they took their new truck across the border and put 10 gallons in the fuel tank and 50 gallons in the auxilary tank. At the border crossing, the Mexican officials impounded the truck because of the 50 gallons in the auxilary tank. No real reason was given in the story. The couple refused to leave Mexico without their truck. I have not heard what the situation is today. The couple has crossed the border many times before and bought fuel without any problems--looks like something changed in Mexico. They did not say they were RVers but I am sure a number of MOCers go to the RGV or elsewhere on the Mexican border--so check before taking your truck across and getting fuel.
