Oil depots are so hot right now

Even better; it's apparently diesel.

Who would win?

Two buzzy bois

or

an oil depot with ~$200m of ~~crude oil~~ diesel fuel.

Is there really that much oil here? Ouch.

Seems like an estimate by the chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent of the WSJ. Also, it seems to actually be diesel fuel. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That makes sense, refined products are obviously more expensive by volume.

Between 550,000 and 600,000 litres of diesel per tank, depending on the specific gravity of the fuel. Two and a half million dollars per tank, not including the lost revenue from having the site offline.

Just some quick maths for you all.
