PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 
11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, 
could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Partnership has been engaged in negotiations with its lenders 
to restructure its indebtedness.  As previously announced on 
December 3, 1995 the Partnership failed to make its scheduled 
payment on November 30, 1995 and since that time has been in 
default under its primary lending agreements.

Due to the time-consuming nature of these restructuring 
activities and the fact that they affect certain of the 
information required in the Form 10-K, the Partnership has been 
unable to complete the preparation of all of the financial and 
other information required in its Form 10-K without unreasonable 
effort and expense.  The Partnership expects to complete such 
preparation during the next two weeks.  Accordingly, the 
Partnership is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K 
within the prescribed time period.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to 
this notification:

	Warren J. Nelson	(805) 286-1582
	Name	Area Code and Phone Number

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 of 
15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 
30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 
12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was 
required to file such reports) been filed?  If answer is no, 
identify report(s).

[X] Yes  [ ] No

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of 
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal 
year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be 
included in the subject report or portion thereof?

[X] Yes [ ] No

	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both 
narratively and quantitatively, and if appropriate, state the 
reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be 
made.

As announced by the Partnership in its press release of February 
9, 1996, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995 was 
$14,462,000, or $1.24 per unit, compared with a net loss of 
$3,004,000, or $.26 per unit in 1994.

The increase in the net loss of $11,458,000 is due a $9,492,000, 
or $.77 per unit write down of the companys Sunbelt refinery in 
Arizona.  As the company has determined that it is unlikely that 
Sunbelt will be operated as a petroleum refinery in the future it 
has reduced the carrying value of the facility in accordance with 
FASB 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and 
for Long-lived Assets to be disposed of. Excluding the Sunbelt 
write down the increase in the loss of $1,966,000 is reflective 
of the impact of rising crude prices, increased competition and 
unusually heavy rainfall in the first half of the year.  Through 
the first six months of 1995, the net loss exceeded 1994 by 
$3,641,000.
