The only places are Mt Barnett Roadhouse, Home Valley and ElQuestro. As far as I know, Imintji is still not open.
Sorry, don't know the distances off hand.

You can get fuel at Drysdale too. Mt Barnett is roughly in the middle. El Questro is a rip off, considering Kununura and Wyndham are not too far away.

Mt Barnett is about $2.00 a litre at the moment. There are a few facebook pages with regular updates - search for Gibb River road and the Kimberley

Fuel is avaiable at Elquestro $2.00 per ltr

Home Valley, which is about 80 klm from Elquestro. Not sure on price as they were closed when we came through.

Mt Barnett is 300klm from Elquestro and fuel is $2.09 for diesel and $2.15 for unleaded.

Home Valley is really hit and miss as it seems to be raped by the tour busses for diesel

I did the gibb last year and from Derby, down to mornington, back up to the road then ending at elquestro with a few side trips went through 110litres towing a 1.5 tonne camper with a 4 cylinder diesel 4wd ute
