The fuel account will work. But it doesn't really matter which G/L account you use, as long as you use the same account for both credit memos. The vendor credit memo will credit that account and the customer credit memo will debit it, that way they balance out to $0 and you don't change your income or expenses. If you think you will be doing this regularly, you could set up a clearing account that you use just for these transactions. That way, if the account ever has a balance other than zero, you'll know something wasn't entered correctly. For example, if your accounts payable is account 20000, you could create account 20010 and name it something like "AP/AR Clearing". Set the account type to Other Current Liabilities. When entering the credit memos to offset AP against AR, you would then use this account as the GL account for both credit memos.
