shop=fuel sounds reasonable.

It seems to be used for coal, heating oil and kerosine. And a hand full of mistaggings of amenity=fuel)

as it's a new tag it can be properly refined by additional tags. amenity=fuel was introduced as car-fuel and is so wide understood as this that it's not realistic to expect this to change. and amenity is overloaded already.

think of it similar as amenity=place_of_worship. This is also a key that needs evaluation of at least the religion sub-key to be reasonably rendered.

Similar can be done with shop=fuel.

It can be differentiated into the kind of fuel available as well as taking into account quantity limitations if needed.

If we include tagging for "proper" petrol stations it could also replace amenity=fuel in the long term.
Keeping the sub-key tagging compatible would allow to tag it simultaneous.

Modern data consumer and renderer evaluate shop=fuel and subkeys, legacy only the amenity and miss out the newer features like coal or bottled fuel.
