I have some experience with Pemex.  We drove out Jeep Grand Waggoneer
(from Detroit) to Mexico.  The freshly rebuilt engine ran great on the
way down, but kept getting worse and worse in Mexico.  Our Mexican
friends (who own an auto parts store and engine rebuilding shop) helped
us fix it up.  After all of that, getting another tank of Pemex (perhaps
with a lower water content?) made it run a lot better.  Once we got a
tank of gas at El Paso, it really improved, and got better with each tank
full.

That was with a carburater.  Now, it is injected and runs better than
ever.  I have a quart-sized filter/sediment bulb assembly that I'm going
to install before going down there again, though.  No telling what kind
of crud is in that stuff, and I surely don't want any in my injecters.
