Where dietary fat goes without insulin.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to low carb ketogenic dieting. I've been listening to Gary Taubes and Jeff Volek among other MDs and scientists about the effects of insulin in fat storage on the human body. This is especially true for those with insulin resistance.
Lately I have been trying bulletproof coffee, eating the fat on chicken wings, drizzling coconut oil on my food and just really curious where all this dietary fat is going in my body.
Without an insulin spike, where does the energy go exactly? Would 100% of the 1400 calories I've eaten consisting of fat be used up to maintain my body and activity, or is it possible that some of it will be stored in my fat cells, even without the presence of too much insulin? In other words, is it impossible to store dietary fat on a low to zero carb diet?
Can someone who has done some research shed some light on this?
