EXHIBIT 10.2

                          AFFIRMATION OF LOAN DOCUMENTS

            Each of the undersigned hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as the same may be amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement") dated as of May 25, 2004 by and among Tesoro Petroleum Corporation
(the "Borrower"), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as
Lenders (the "Lenders") and Bank One, NA, as Administrative Agent (the
"Administrative Agent"). Capitalized terms used in this Affirmation of Loan
Documents and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the
Credit Agreement.

            Each of the undersigned affirms the terms and conditions of each
Loan Document executed by it, including, without limitation, the Security
Agreement and the Guaranty, and acknowledges and agrees that each such Loan
Document executed by it in connection with the Prior Credit Agreement remains in
full force and effect and is hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed. However,
the Security Agreement is modified as follows:

            Petroleum Inventory directly acquired by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary thereof through the use of those Letters of Credit described in
Section 6.14.7 of the Credit Agreement shall not be subject to the Lien granted
under the Security Agreement only until such Petroleum Inventory is no longer
subject to any Lien which may have been granted to the applicable issuer(s) of
such Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 6.15.24 of the Credit
Agreement. Each of the undersigned hereby acknowledge and agree that such
Petroleum Inventory, when not subject to such Letter of Credit issuer's Lien,
shall be subject to the Lien granted under the Security Agreement.

            Each reference to the "Credit Agreement" contained in the
above-referenced documents shall be a reference to the Credit Agreement as the
same may from time to time hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented or
restated.
