Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis with those of the annual audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (our "Annual Report on Form 10-K"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2018. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Consolidation
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Such intercompany transactions do not include those with Delek or our general partner. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period should not be viewed as representative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the full year.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance regarding the application of the new lease accounting guidance issued in February 2016 (discussed further below) to rights of way. This guidance provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under the new lease accounting guidance existing or expired rights of way that were not previously accounted for as leases. However, any new or modified rights of way should be evaluated under the new lease accounting guidance. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired rights of way in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and are currently evaluating the impact adopting this new guidance will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance to better align financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities for both financial (e.g., interest rate) and commodity risks. The guidance was intended to create more transparency in the presentation of financial results, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes, and simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Companies are required to apply the guidance on a modified retrospective transition method in which the cumulative effect of the change will be recognized within equity in the consolidated balance sheet as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. If a company early adopts in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and are currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new guidance will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The modification accounting guidance applies if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the scope of asset derecognition guidance and accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The amendments in this guidance should be applied using either i) a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption or ii) a retrospective basis to each period presented in the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance concerning the goodwill impairment test that eliminates Step 2, which required a comparison of the implied fair value of goodwill of the reporting unit with the carrying amount of that goodwill for that reporting unit. It also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative assessment, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We expect to adopt this guidance on or before the effective date and we do not anticipate that the adoption will have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies eight cash flow classification issues pertaining to cash receipts and cash payments. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and requires retrospective application to prior periods. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations, except for its impact on certain dividends received from equity method investees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and three months and year ended December 31, 2017. The retrospective adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the three months ended March 31, 2017 as there were no dividends received from equity method investees during such period. We made an accounting policy election to classify dividends received from equity method investees using the cumulative earnings approach. Under this approach, dividends received are considered returns on investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities, unless the investor’s cumulative dividends received less dividends received in prior periods that were determined to be returns of investment exceed cumulative equity in earnings (as adjusted for amortization of basis differences) recognized by the investor. When such an excess occurs, the current-period dividend up to this excess should be considered a return of investment and classified as cash inflows from investing activities.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires the recognition of a lease liability and a right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial condition for all leases previously accounted for as operating leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2019 and are currently evaluating the impact adopting this new guidance will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As part of our efforts to prepare for adoption, beginning in 2018, we formed a project implementation team, as well as a project timeline, to evaluate this guidance. We also reviewed and gained an understanding of the new lease accounting guidance, continue to perform scoping to identify and evaluate leases under the guidance and continue to review industry specific implementation guidance. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the guidance on our business processes, accounting systems, controls and financial statement disclosures, and expect to implement any changes to accommodate the new accounting and disclosure requirements prior to adoption on January 1, 2019. We are required to use the modified retrospective adoption method to apply this guidance, under which the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance will be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the first quarter of 2019.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities accounted for under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Under the new guidance, all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) will generally be measured at fair value through earnings. There will no longer be an available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. For financial liabilities when the fair value option has been elected, changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. It will require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and will eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires improved interim and annual disclosures that enable the users of financial statements to better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, and can be adopted retrospectively. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations with the exception of certain required additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. See Note 4 for these additional disclosures.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
Net Income Per Unit
We use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners because we have more than one participating class of securities. Our participating securities consist of common units, general partner units and IDRs. The two-class method is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Basic net income per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting our general partner’s 2% interest and IDRs, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common units. Our net income is allocated to our general partner and limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages after giving effect to priority income allocations for IDRs, which are held by our general partner pursuant to our Partnership Agreement. The IDRs are paid following the close of each quarter.
Segment Data
Our operating segments adhere to the accounting policies used for our consolidated financial statements. Our operating segments are managed separately because each segment requires different industry knowledge, technology and marketing strategies. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of operating performance are made based on this segmentation. Management measures the operating performance of each of its reportable segments based on segment contribution margin. Segment contribution margin is defined as net revenues less cost of goods sold and operating expenses
Property, Plant and Equipment, Impairment
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360, Property, Plant & Equipment, we evaluate the realizability of property, plant and equipment as events occur that might indicate potential impairment.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of financial instruments are estimated based upon current market conditions and quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments. Management estimates that the carrying value approximates fair value for all of our assets and liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC 825, Financial Instruments.

We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for its measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to commodity and interest rate derivatives that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The standard also requires that we assess the impact of nonperformance risk on our derivatives. Nonperformance risk is not considered material to our financial statements at this time.

ASC 820 requires disclosures that categorize assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting our assumptions about pricing by market participants.

Commodity swaps, exchange-traded futures, physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts and any interest rate swaps are generally valued using industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices, spot prices, interest rates, time value, volatility factors and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. The degree to which these inputs are observable in the forward markets determines the classification as Level 2 or 3. Our contracts are valued based on exchange pricing and/or price index developers such as Platts or Argus and are, therefore, classified as Level 2.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Revenue Recognition. As a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), the Partnership has updated its policies as it relates to revenue recognition. The Partnership recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or providing services to a customer. Revenues for products sold are generally recognized upon delivery of the product, which is when title and control of the product is transferred. Transaction prices for these products are typically at market rates for the product at the time of delivery. Service revenues are recognized as crude oil, intermediate and refined product are shipped through, delivered by or stored in our pipelines, trucks, terminals and storage facility assets, as applicable. We do not recognize product revenues for these services as the product does not represent a promised good in the context of ASC 606. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer. All service revenues are based on regulated tariff rates or contractual rates.
Certain agreements for gathering, transportation, storage, terminalling, and offloading with Delek are considered operating leases under ASC 840, Leases. We identified the separate lease and service components of our revenues under these leases and applied ASC 606 only to the service component, while the lease component continued to be accounted for under ASC 840. Refer to Note 4 for further information.

Up-front Payments to Customers. We record all up-front payments to customers in accordance with the provisions of ASC 606. We evaluate the nature of each payment, the rights and obligations under the related contract, and whether the payment meets the definition of an asset. When an asset is recognized for an up-front payment to a customer, the asset is amortized, as a reduction of revenue, in a manner that reflects the pattern and period over which the asset is expected to provide benefit.

Sales, Use and Excise Taxes. Upon the adoption of ASC 606, we made the accounting policy election to exclude from revenue all taxes assessed by a governmental authority, including sales, use and excise taxes, that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer. Historically, we have excluded sales, use and excise taxes from revenue in accordance with the applicable guidance in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.
