Mexican Diesel

Does anyone know if you can purchase diesel in Mexico and bring it across the border legally? Paying $4.10 in San Diego when a short drive South in just over $2.00 a gallon. My brother bought a transfer tank. Did not have any issues on his first trip. His second trip he had a jerk for an inspector/agent. He was told that he can't do this and that he was going to flag him so that he would come up on the system if he tried again.

Simple, he isn't paying state or federal fuel tax. Thanks to 911 you can't cross the borders on a regular basis to buy candy anymore.

I thought that might be the issue. But, what about bio diesel? It's O.K. to make your own as long as you don't resell it. I figured it would be O.K. to buy it in Mexico as long as you don't turn around an sell it. I've seen sever adds on C-list for 3.00/gallon out of transfer tanks.

partially ok to make your own---feds allow you to make 400 gal per qtr--per each member of the DRIVING household--tax free--but the states say diff--and you have to know what the laws in your state say----
