Definitions
Fuelling is the British and Canadian spelling of the American 'fueling' — the present participle of 'fuel,' meaning to supply with fuel or to intensify and drive something. It follows standard British English convention of doubling the final 'l' before a vowel suffix. As a dictionary entry, its value is primarily as a spelling variant note for international readers rather than as distinct slang. Commonly encountered in UK journalism and Canadian official writing.
The new policies were seen as fuelling tensions rather than reducing them.
