If you enter it as fuel it affects the Fuel Calculations and assumes equal burn through the flight as the actual fuel. If you do it as a static loading point then you can't model max and min affects on envelope

Is a feature request possible? to show the impact of the min/max values on the loading sheet? i.e new type of loading point = De-ice fluid with max value setting impact on loading charts - just shows min and max impact on envelope for starting and end points only
