* Drag and drop the Isotopes, Heavy Water, Liquid Ozone, and Strontium Clathrate you purchased along with the other necessary Robotics, Enriched Uranium, Mechanical Parts, Coolant and Oxygen.

~~starbases~~ do not refuel themselves: they only take what's available inside the resource storage part of the CT. If a specific fuel like Liquid Ozone has run out, then your structures will start to go offline. Don't just shove tons of fuel in there, balance it out so everything has roughly the same amount of days supply.

If you run out of Isotopes, your whole Control Tower will go offline, shields will drop and you will be a sitting duck. This is precisely the reason why fuel is such a critical issue and should be the most important thing to take into consideration when planning your base. Ask yourself if your corp can mine/buy the required fuel regularly, how many members can have mining barges? Do you have easy access to ice belts?
