The screen doesn't update after a transfer, it updates before a transfer. So when you try to transfer 10,000 fuel from ship A to ship B (which only needs 6,666), you'll find that when you click the transfer button once it will look like nothing happened. If you click it a second time, then you'll see the transfer (of 6,666) appear to take place. In reality, the first click did the transfer and the second click did nothing, but the screen didn't refresh.
This can be confusing.

For new builds make sure they have no fuel tanks.
I think the fuel tanks might have been intentional. The design said it was a fighter base - I suspect he wanted the fighters to refuel automatically from the base when they landed (or he was role-playing storage tanks at the base).
