Albanian term or phrase: Ka tre depozita nafte, nje kerosen, nje gasoline
The context is a description of a property containing large cylindrical surface fuel storage tanks. I need to know which type of fuel is indicated by which of these three words. Previous text indicates that these tanks are used to store "nafte dhe nen-produktet e saj" - does "nafte" there mean crude oil then? I don't see how it could mean "petrol/gasolene" as often used.

Explanation:
I think depozita should be tanks, not tankers. Tankers are lorries (kamione). Nafte means diesel, in my experience.

Yes, you're right about it not being tanker. However that refers more to ships than lorries. I actually used depot.
