At this point does anyone carry diesel on the lake? I am boat shopping and don't want to get caught in a situation with a boat that I cannot fuel.

I'm guessing Fays Boat Yard has Diesel Fuel because thay sell Yanmar Engines which are diesel. Yanmar are very popular as auxiliary power in cruising sailboats. NB

Heard the Y-Landing Marina, across from Pine Island, has diesel & hi-test gasoline. The M.V. Bear big boat that runs from Camp Lawrence to Y-Landing is probably a diesel. Y-Landing has lots of boater do-it-yourselfer items like sump pumps, running lights, & paddle storage doobies. Plus beer, milk & newspapers.

I think I saw that boat refueling at the Mt Washington dry dock one time. Maybe they sell diesel.
Fay's does have diesel but it's not available at the pumps on the gas dock. The sail boats have very small diesel tanks and only fill up once a year if that. I know they made accommodations for one large power boat that had 400gal+ tank. Call their office for more info.

Does have diesel according to the website. The Bear may fill up off their tanks now, but back in the day we would meet a truck at the Y-Landing which would fill the tanks on the boat.
