Do we know anything about refinery(s) used? If refineries were an issue is low grade diesel more likely than gasoline?
What was the timeline for the fuel production? How long was the transport time? If it was gasoline is it nearing it's usable shelf life.

I've always assumed its was diesel. I've made that asumption in previous posts on this topic. Its much easier to produce, has a longer shelf life and it seems obvious that was what the Russians were using.
