Thanks to NATO's aerial bombardment, Muammar Qaddafi has few tanks left to seize up but his regime is running on empty. His military forces, now deploying civilian vehicles on the front line in the hope of confusing NATO's pilots, have priority in using the gasoline and diesel still available to the colonel. But it may soon run out. A trickle of oil from fields in the regime-held south-west feeds the refinery at Zawiya, on the coast near Tripoli. Aerial surveillance shows heat coming from the plant but it is probably operating at no more than 30% of its capacity of 120,000 barrels a day. If Colonel Qaddafi were to lose Zawiya and its refinery, the game would probably be up. NATO is also stopping seaborne fuel from reaching the regime.
