Do the fuel tankers have separate compartments? I can't help but wonder if section 'a' goes to Tesco or whatever and section 'b' to the non supermarket outlet. It wouldn't take much to add a little something extra when section b is filled at the depot. Supermarket slop may not be watered down, but non supermarket fuel may have a richer taste?
Perhaps someone will be able to say without the risk of loosing their job.

The bigger articulated tankers are compartmentalised, usually into 4 or more tanks and they are baffled as well. This enables them to deliver different fuels (diesel, petrol, premium etc.) and stops all the contents sloshing to the back on hills...
So yes your point is fair it is entirely possible for tankers to deliver different "mixes" to different customers.
