Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Operations and Organization | 1. Operations and Organization: ETC M-A Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed in August 2013, (the “Company”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. (“ETO”). In October 2018, Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE”) and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) completed a merger of ETP with a wholly-owned subsidiary of ETE in a unit-for-unit exchange. Following the closing of the merger, ETE changed its name to “Energy Transfer LP” and its common units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the “ET” ticker symbol on October 19, 2018. In addition, ETP changed its name to “Energy Transfer Operating, L.P.” In connection with the transaction, immediately prior to closing, ETE contributed 2,263,158 Sunoco LP common units to ETP in exchange for 2,874,275 ETP common units, and contributed 100% of the limited liability company interests in Sunoco LP’s general partner, Sunoco GP LLC (“General Partner”), and all of its incentive distribution rights to ETP in exchange for 42,812,389 ETP common units. As a result, following the transaction, ETO directly owns Sunoco LP’s General Partner, all of its incentive distribution rights and approximately 34.4% of its common units, which constitutes a 28.7% limited partner interest in Sunoco LP. Prior to December 2, 2016, the Company’s membership interests were owned 99% by ETP Retail Holdings, LLC (“Retail Holdings”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ETO, and 1% by another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ETO. On December 2, 2016, the 1% membership interest was contributed to Retail Holdings; therefore, the Company is now a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Retail Holdings. Retail Holdings was formed in May 2014. In June 2014, the equity interests in multiple entities were contributed to Retail Holdings, including (a) the 99% membership interest in the Company and (b) 100% of the membership interests in Sunoco, LLC (“Sunoco LLC”). Sunoco LLC was formed by Sunoco, Inc. (“Sunoco”) in June 2014, at which time Sunoco contributed certain retail assets (the “Contributed Assets”) of its subsidiaries to Sunoco LLC. Pursuant to the contribution agreement, Sunoco contributed substantially all of its wholesale motor fuel distribution business which included: • dealer, distributor and fuel supply agreements, • fuel supply agreements to distribute motor fuel to Sunoco convenience stores and other retail fuel outlets, • real property owned in fee, • leases and subleases under which it was a tenant, and • leases and subleases under which it was a landlord. All of the Contributed Assets were recorded at book value as this transaction was considered to be a reorganization of entities under common control. As discussed above, Sunoco contributed its interest in Sunoco LLC to Retail Holdings in June 2014. Sunoco was acquired by ETP in October 2012. In April 2015, Sunoco LP acquired a 31.58% membership interest and 50.1% voting interest in Sunoco LLC from Retail Holdings (the “Sunoco LLC Transaction”) in exchange for $775 million in cash and 795,482 Sunoco LP common units. Sunoco Retail LLC (“Sunoco Retail”) was formed in December 2015 as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ETO. On March 31, 2016, 100% of the equity interests in Sunoco Retail were contributed to Retail Holdings. Immediately prior to this contribution, Sunoco Retail’s assets included (i) the retail assets and the ethanol plant located in Fulton, NY formerly owned by Sunoco, Inc. (R&M), (ii) the retail assets formerly owned by Atlantic Refining & Marketing Corp; and (iii) 100% of the membership interests in Sunmarks LLC. On March 31, 2016 (effective January 1, 2016), Retail Holdings contributed to Sunoco LP the remaining 68.42% membership interest and 49.9% voting interest in Sunoco LLC and 100% of the membership interest in Sunoco Retail for $2.2 billion in cash (including working capital) and the issuance to Retail Holdings of 5,710,922 Sunoco LP common units (the “Sunoco Retail Transaction”). Concurrently with the execution of the transaction, Retail Holdings distributed the $2.2 billion in cash to Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) and Atlantic Refining & Marketing Corp in the amount of $2 billion and $0.2 billion , respectively (the “R&M and Atlantic Distribution”). In connection with the Sunoco LLC Transaction and the Sunoco Retail Transaction, Retail Holdings entered into guarantees of collection on an aggregate $1.6 billion of senior notes issued by Sunoco LP (the “Guarantees”). On December 2, 2016, Retail Holdings contributed to the Company 6,506,404 Sunoco LP common units (consisting of 795,482 Sunoco LP common units received in the Sunoco LLC Transaction and 5,710,922 Sunoco LP common units received in the Sunoco Retail Transaction) and assigned to the Company the Guarantees. On January 23, 2018, Sunoco LP redeemed the guaranteed senior notes and issued an aggregate $2.2 billion of senior notes for which the Company has guaranteed collection of principal amounts. See Note 4 for additional details. |

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). For purposes of these financial statements, the aggregate total of 10,489,944 Sunoco LP common units are presented as the investment in unconsolidated affiliate held by the Company. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include investments with original maturities of three months or less. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate The Company owns an interest in Sunoco LP which is accounted for by the equity method for which the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, the investee’s operating and financial policies. Income Taxes As a limited liability company, the Company is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes; therefore, the Company’s financial statements do not reflect income taxes. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts recorded for advances to affiliated companies and accrued and other current liabilities in the financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure [Text Block] | 3. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate: Sunoco LP At December 31, 2018, the Company’s investment in Sunoco LP consisted of 10,489,944 Sunoco LP common units that were issued to the Company as part of the consideration for various transactions. The Company’s investment represented approximately 13% of the total outstanding Sunoco LP common units at December 31, 2018. The Company’s investment in Sunoco LP is accounted for in our financial statements using the equity method, because the Company is presumed to have significant influence over Sunoco LP due to the affiliate relationship resulting from both entities being under the common control of Energy Transfer Operating, L.P. The loss from the unconsolidated affiliate of $37 million on the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes the impact of non-cash impairments and loss on extinguishment of debt recorded by Sunoco LP, which impacted the Company’s loss from unconsolidated affiliates by $4 million during the period. The income from the unconsolidated affiliate of $4 million on the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes the impact of non-cash impairments recorded by Sunoco LP, which reduced the Company’s income from unconsolidated affiliates by $42.5 million during the period. The loss from the unconsolidated affiliate of $53 million on the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes the impact of non-cash impairments recorded by Sunoco LP, which impacted the Company’s loss from unconsolidated affiliates by $67 million during the period. |

Commitments Contingencies and Guarantees [Text Block] | Commitments and Contingencies: ETC M-A Acquisition LLC Guarantee of Sunoco LP Notes On January 23, 2018, Sunoco LP redeemed its previously guaranteed senior notes and issued the following senior notes, for which the Company has guaranteed collection with respect to the payment of principal amounts: • $1 billion of 4.875% senior notes due 2023; • $800 million of 5.50% senior notes due 2026; and • $400 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2028. Under the guarantee of collection, the Company would have the obligation to pay the principal of each series of notes once all remedies, including in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, have first been fully exhausted against Sunoco LP with respect to such payment obligation, and holders of the notes are still owed amounts in respect of the principal of such notes. The Company will not otherwise be subject to the covenants of the indenture governing the notes. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Sunoco LP entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers pursuant to which it agreed to complete an offer to exchange the Notes for an issue of registered notes with terms substantively identical to each series of Notes and evidencing the same indebtedness as the Notes on or before January 23, 2019. The exchange offer was completed on December 3, 2018. |
