I haven't had a chance to read up on how to define the fuel type.
I imagine there is various heating oils, propane and kerosene, LNG, coal, wood, different grades of gas, diesel, aviation fuel, jet fuel, etc - even "farm gas" which has different taxes. How can those be defined - esp if a shop sells more than one ( like my Japanese gas station that also sells kerosene?)
