fuel supply
Tank's precious contents
Fuel supply refers to the amount of fuel available or the system that delivers it.
A vehicle's fuel supply determines how far it can travel before refueling.
In broader contexts, a nation's fuel supply encompasses reserves, production, and distribution infrastructure: Concerns about fuel supply drove the push for energy independence.
The term often appears in discussions of shortages, security, and logistics.
