Is there any difference between the Diesel I buy at the Marina and the diesel I can buy at a gas station? It is much easier to lug a five gallon jug to the boat than spend two hours going to the fuel dock and back

There is no apparent difference between service station and marina diesel fuel except as pointed out in the other posts. The big things are making sure it is quality fuel (we highly tout Amoco Premier Grade) and to keep it clean. Putting the fuel into and out of an additional container could introduce contamination.
