Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	2. Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014, or for any other period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. We have not reported comprehensive income due to the absence of items of other comprehensive income or loss during the periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes present, for periods prior to October 16, 2013, the combined financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Western Refining Logistics, LP, Predecessor, our predecessor for accounting purposes (the "Predecessor"). Financial Instruments and Fair Value Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable. We believe that our credit risk is minimized as a result of the credit quality of our customer base. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, which we consider Level 1 assets, approximated their fair values at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, due to their short-term maturities. Segment Reporting Due to the similarity of the assets we operate and how we manage our business, we have aggregated the divisions of the Partnership into one reportable operating segment for disclosure purposes. Our operating divisions reflect the way in which we internally report the financial information used to make decisions and allocate resources in connection with our operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The accounting provisions under the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") covering the recognition and reporting of revenues were amended to remove inconsistencies in revenue requirements and to provide a more complete framework for addressing revenue issues across a broad range of industries and transaction types. The revised standard’s core principle is that a company 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. These provisions are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2016, and are to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. New provisions of the ASC that require management of an entity to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter with early application permitted. The changed requirements are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. We do not expect the adoption of these new provisions to materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as they only affect future disclosures. From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on our accounting and reporting. We believe that other recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will either have no impact on our accounting or reporting, or that such impact, when implemented, will not be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable. We believe that our credit risk is minimized as a result of the credit quality of our customer base. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, which we consider Level 1 assets, approximated their fair values at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, due to their short-term maturities.

Segment Reporting

Due to the similarity of the assets we operate and how we manage our business, we have aggregated the divisions of the Partnership into one reportable operating segment for disclosure purposes. Our operating divisions reflect the way in which we internally report the financial information used to make decisions and allocate resources in connection with our operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
