[Bob/Myrna Siegel]

click on link Google on Smiths Marina and follow links to Amoco data sheet.
I  " BP Amoco Premier Diesel Fuel
      Premier starts as a premium fuel right out of the refinery. There,
engineers select and blend premium quality base stocks, keeping BP Amoco
Premier separate from other fuels every step of the process from the refinery
to the tank. Then, to make it even better, we add our exclusive Guardian
additive package. Furthermore, BP Amoco Premier Low Sulfur meets or exceeds
all of the Engine Manufacturers Association recommendations for diesel fuel
that is "superior in quality." While most ordinary No.2 diesel fuels are
typically blended to meet a cetane of 40 to 45, Amoco Premier provides a
minimum 50 cetane number."

      Local marina charges about 20 cents/gal. more than other marinas.  Is
the fuel worth the premium charge?  Do you think it would survive winter
storage better than other fuel?
