"Fernando Valdez, deputy consul for the Mexican Consulate told PickupTrucks.com "It's against Mexican federal law to (fill) containers not attached to the fuel system of a car or truck and travel across the international border."
He specifically implies that if it is attached to the fuel system it is OK. An Aux tank is part of the fuel system, a transfer tank is not connected.


I hope that holds up but as most of us know, local interpretation of Mexican law varies widely. Heck, it can vary from official to official or from visit to visit.


Agreed. Unfortunately, same thing goes with the U.S. and Canadian border. Each bridge seems to have their own rules.

It will be interesting to read the first report of a fine or confiscation of vehicles.
