If anything containing hydrogen is valid as "unrefined fuel", a ship
equipped with a refiner should be able to fill their active tanks by
refining from tanked cargo. For each dt of tanked cargo, you should be able
to get the following amounts of refined fuel (1 tonne = 1 dt = 14m3) from
the substances below (use fixed-pitch font to view):
(All substances are at STP unless otherwise noted, and are assumed pure)
