Fill up a Class A and you should have more than enough fuel to get to Marathon and back, unless you're doing other touring in your rig, which I doubt.

The last service plaza on the Turnpike before the end is the easiest place for a big rig - they have a truck island. The Racetrack mentioned is reasonably easy access for a class A, also. There are a couple places in Marathon with adequate RV access for diesel. There are plenty of good restaurants and tiki bars up and down the keys ....
I agree on the service plaza fuel station. We did that and it worked well for us.
What I didn't notice were a whole lot of places that would be big rig friendly for filling up. But I wasn't looking too hard as I knew we had plenty of fuel to make it down and likely even back up before needing to fill up again.
