I suppose you could partialy flood negative in order to compensate for the difference in weight between oil and salt water.

I think the first bit of fuel to be used if part of the ballast was used to store fuel would be the oil from the ballast. So by the time you got into it the ballast should not have fuel left anyway.

Just guessing.
