You may pay a road tax at the gas station but in most places that's a
lot cheaper than paying the marina tax. Then again, for the amount of
fuel the OP says he uses, it doesn't make much of a difference.

fueling at a marina is cheaper then buying diesel at a gas station because
at the gas station you pay road use tax on the diesel You don't at a marina

There was such a service in the LA/Long Beach/Alamitos Bay area, possibly
more than one, and it was a rather valuable service that seemed popular.
This past spring I was looking for a similar service here in Marinette
Wisconsin, nobody had ever heard of such a critter. The thing is that
Essie's tank holds about 40 gallons of diesel, which is good for about
200+
hours of motoring. At my current burn rate, I should need to fill the tank
again sometime around the end of the Iraq war -- call it four years from
now, give or take.


What you need is a smaller tank. Think about a day tank, only a few
gallons or so, you can hook up to your fuel intake. You can also fill
it wherever you want and avoid paying marina rates.
