"Quirium Fuel": A commodity found on the F8 markets screen (if you have installed Fuel Tweaks OXZ).
Can only be purchased if specialised fuel storage containers have been fitted to a ship.
Usable fuel, Quirium, stored in the Cargo Hold for trade (or for refuelling).
Terminological Confusion
In the Classic Elite game fuel is just fuel! But in the game Manual it became Quirium H-fuel (page 6) and Andy Redman incorporated that into his Imprint novel. When Drew Wagar starting writing Oofiction, the science of quirium featured prominently in his Oolite saga. So in the early days the terms Fuel and Quirium were used interchangeably.
Then people started writing OXPs (Commander Frame's Fuel Collector OXP in 2008 led to Phkb's Fuel Tweaks OXP) which affected the fuel and the OXP'd version was called Quirium Fuel, a commodity which could be bought and sold. Other people also played around with the concept (Holy Fuel, Quirium Crystals etc). Hence the peculiar specificity of this page which only deals with the fuel as a commodity.
