The way this article is written with phrases like "the priority users of fuel were always, of course, the armed forces" strongly implies original research, especially as sourcing is completely inadequate. That is why the OR tags have been placed. The article needs a complete rewrite, in my opinion, with all content based on reliable sources and properly cited.
