In the attached savegame, I dropped a new train and tried to fuel it via Requester Chest / Inserter.
However, as soon as the Inserter drops some fuel into the Locomotive, it instantly vanishes (flashes for ~1 tick in the fuel slot) and the train keeps showing "Out of Fuel".

To reprroduce, load the attached save, watch the robots bring some coal, which will vanish as soon as it is inserted into the Train.

You might want to check your train unloading setup

Hehe. To be a bit less coy than Loewchen, your train is not pulled entirely into the station in that save and the loco is thus misaligned. The nearest of your cargo wagon inserters is pulling all the fuel right back out as quickly as it's loaded.

Oops, sorry.
Maybe getting some sleep between Factorio sessions might not be as overrated as they say...
