If the fuel was released earlier, what's to stop the US from simply reneging on their deal and loading up as much as they can squeeze into their ships and sailing off into the sunset?

Then again, as the Germans, why would you turn over the fuel
after the Americans have given you all their gear and put themselves into a nice, tight, easy-to-Fireball group?
Oh, sorry, wrong game
