Yes, fuel was in very short supply for Japan's military & civilian sectors the entire war. By 1944, Japanese ships were stationed closer to the supplies of oil in the Dutch East Indies & British Malaya. The Japanese Navy began using unrefined oil instead of refined fuel oil for its ships. This caused mechanical problems for these ships, however the Japanese had to do this because of the shortage of fuel. The Japanese had a shortage of oil production & refining facilities, a shortage of oil tankers to move oil & fuel around, and a lack of understanding of modern military logistics.
