Exhibit 99.2

     Statement Under Oath of Principal Financial Officer Regarding Facts and
                 Circumstances Relating to Exchange Act Filings

I, William E. Hantke, state and attest that:

(1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports of
Premcor Inc., and, except as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered
report:

     o  no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material fact as of
        the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a report
        on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it
        was filed); and

     o  no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the
        statements in the covered report, in light of the circumstances under
        which they were made, not misleading as of the end of the period
        covered by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or
        definitive proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

(2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
committee.

(3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or before
the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

     o  Premcor Inc.'s Registration Statement on Form S-1 became effective on
        April 29, 2002 and accordingly, Premcor Inc. has not yet been obligated
        to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission.

     o  all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all definitive
        proxy materials of Premcor Inc. filed with the Commission subsequent to
        the filing of the Form S-1 identified above; and

     o  any amendments to any of the foregoing.
