The fuel station is part of Gallatin Marina’s full-service lake experience, keeping storage customers, slip holders, and visitors closer to the water and ready for longer days on Old Hickory Lake.
Our fuel dock sells only ethanol free gas, in 87 and 90, plus diesel. None of it contains ethanol, and each grade carries Primrose Fuel Additives. Each fill is guaranteed for a full year against water problems, which matters for a boat that can sit for weeks between outings. Pull up during marina hours, tie off and fill up.
Most pump fuel sold for cars is blended with ethanol. That works in a car that burns a tank a week. A boat is a different animal. Its tank is vented, the air over a lake is damp, and a half-full tank may wait a long time for its next trip. Ethanol free gasoline avoids the moisture problems a blend can bring, and plenty of owners prefer it, especially with older engines. Your engine manual is the final word on what your engine needs.
Picking boat fuel starts with the engine. Many outboards and sterndrives are built for regular 87. Some higher-performance engines call for more octane, and that is where 90 comes in. Diesel serves inboard diesel engines and generators. If you are not sure which grade your boat takes, look at the manual or the label near the fuel fill, or ask at the dock.
Ethanol free gas for boats is the main reason people come to our dock, though jet ski owners fill up here as well. Riders who keep a personal watercraft on one of our jet ports can top up without trailering anywhere.
For slip and rack customers, having marine fuel on the property saves a run across the lake to someone else’s dock. Rack owners can fuel as the boat goes in, then head straight out. Visitors on the lake are welcome to stop too, and while you are tied up you can pick up drinks, ice and snacks in the marina store.
If you are out on the water searching marine gas near me, Gallatin Marina is at 727 Marina Private Rd, Gallatin, off the Cumberland River. Fuel dock hours follow the seasonal schedule, which changes through spring, summer and fall, and the dock is shut in winter. Current 2026 hours sit on our contact page. Prices change too, so call 615-452-9876 for today’s figure.
Fill up before a long run rather than after it, so you are not hunting for fuel late in the day. Keep the tank close to full if the boat will sit a while, since a fuller tank leaves less room for damp air. Run the blower before starting a gasoline inboard after you fuel. And when your boat is about to go into storage for the winter, talk to the staff about when to do the last fill.
Shut off engines and have everyone climb out onto the dock while you fuel. Close hatches and ports, hold the nozzle against the filler neck, and clean up any drips before you start up again. These habits take a minute and they matter.
If you have a question about your engine and fuel, the team at the dock can point you in the right direction. For anything else, contact the marina and we will help.
Diesel is pumped from the same dock as gasoline. If your boat runs a diesel inboard or a generator, check the fill cap carefully before you start, since putting the wrong fuel in the wrong tank is an expensive mistake. Ask the staff if the fills are not clearly marked.
