Then again, for the amount of fuel the OP says he uses, it doesn't make much of a difference. Steve 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 "Steve" wrote in message .. .

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. Steve |
