Just as an aside, What was the storage life for the fuel, (both 100 and 87 Octaine)? Less than a year? Modern fuels degrade over time (visibly noticable by the gums and varnishes that seperate from the fuel and discolour it) and would cause all sorts of issues in use. The Fuel companies advise not keeping fuel stored for any great length of time.
I would assume they would have used some sort of rolling reserve system that as new shipments of fuel would be put into storage and the older stock sent out to be used. Does anyone know how they managed their fuel reserves?
