POWER OF ATTORNEY    [Exhibit 24]

I, Stephen L. Cropper, appoint each of Colin A. Oerton, Bruce D. Davis, Ann
C. Mule, Louisa K. Cresson, and John J. DiRocco, Jr., signing singly, as my
true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

1.  Execute on my behalf and in my capacity as a reporting person of Sunoco
Logistics Partners L.P. (the "Company"), the following items (each a "Report"
and, collectively, the "Reports"):   Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any other report
required pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules thereunder; and Form 144 and any other similar report
required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and

2.  Perform any and all acts on my behalf which may be necessary or desirable
to complete and execute any Reports and timely file such Reports with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any stock exchange
or similar authority; and

3.  Take any other action in connection with the foregoing which, in the
opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the best interest
of, or legally required by the undersigned, it being understood that any
document executed by such attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this
Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in their discretion.

I grant to each such attorneys-in-fact full power and authority to do and
perform any act necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the
rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as I
might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or
revocation.  I ratify and confirm all that such attorney-in-fact, or any
substitute of such attorney-in fact, shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by the rights and powers granted by this Power of Attorney.

I acknowledge that each such attorney-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at
my request, is not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of my responsi-
bilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or applicable federal or state
securities laws generally.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until I am no
longer required to file any Reports with respect to my holdings of and trans-
actions in securities issued by the Company, unless I earlier revoke it in a
signed writing delivered to the General Counsel and Secretary of Sunoco
Partners LLC, the Company's General Partner.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this eleventh day of November, 2003.

/s/ Stephen L. Cropper
