Or are this only the stocks?

Yes it is only the stocks. The fuel distributed to the supply system for use was only 10,000 tons for Jun-Aug 1940.
Considering that the RAF planned for 2770 tons for 4 squadrons of Hurricanes per week. Now that includes all the feeder/emergency fields to be stocked with a supply, 3 weeks of operational stores in case the trains gets bombed, and all the flying required.
Using their math, 10,000 tons is enough for 15 squadrons or adding 5 squadrons per month.
