Huachicol

Huachicol (sometimes spelled guachicol) is a Spanish-language slang term used to refer to adulterated alcoholic beverages or to gasoline or diesel that has been adulterated or stolen.

People who engage in the illegal activity of stealing and adulterating fuel and alcoholic beverages in Mexico are known as huachicoleros. In the 2020s, the term huachicol fiscal has been used to describe the illegal fuel trade in which gasoline and diesel are smuggled into the country through land and maritime borders, evade taxes, and are then sold unlawfully.
