The use of the phrase minimum fuel is used to describe a situation when an aircrafts fuel supply has reached a state where having committed to land at a specific aerodrome, the pilot calculates that any change to the existing clearance to that aerodrome may result in landing with less than the designated fixed reserve.

It does not change priority for the aircraft vs other aircraft heading to the same aerodrome.
