Default MOGAS - Acronym For Motor Gas

That's very interesting. It is a term referring to severe service metal seated ball valves

But for what we are interested in: power resources or in Narrower Terms - aviation fuels, captured fuel, diesel fuel marine, fossil fuels, motor gasoline, nuclear fuels, synthetic fuel,

Related Terms: fuel research, fuel storage, supply class III

Another says, "It's a contraction for autoMOtive gasoline - mogas; so it's just the regular gas you put in your car. The term has only been in circulation since the 1980's"

Here is a history of US Navy patapsco gasoline tankers AOG: AOG AVGAS, MOGAS & JET FUEL (Vietnam era)

In 1996-1998 there was a high performance Mogas fuel system developed for racing cars using natural gas: a clean-burning fuel, mild to the engines, which helps reduce engine wear and maintenance. NG also has superior safety factors and offers significant fuel cost savings.

Civil Aviation Authority regulatory position on the use of MOGAS and AVGAS as of 31 January 2001

Do you think it was something experimental? Or an older type fuel the military refers to as MOGAS during 1990-1991?

If you used diesel for the 'out-house' burn-up, that would seem to be safer than JP-5

Probably not relevant, but on this Navy fact sheet site, it states on cargo capacity of a Maritime Prepositioning Ship: JP-5 bbls, 20,290; DF-2 bbls, 12,355; Mogas bbls, 3,717
