Yes I did set my tankers to 'refuel same fleet'. They refuel the fleet just fine but only if the fleet is idle.
The fleets I have tried to refuel have all been geosurvey ships that ran out of fuel. They are 'underway' only in the sense that they have an active move order. I have never tried to top up a moving ship with a partially full tank. Maybe that distinction is the problem.
Well, yes. If your ships run dry then you need to clear all orders to refuel them. A ship with movement orders and no fuel is an error condition. You need to give them enough fuel to carry out their current orders for the chosen increment before you can "underway" replenish them.
