We know someone who this happened to with standard ULP, 5 cars broke down less than 100 metres from the servo. Dodgy batch, BP agreed, paid for the repairs.
i recently spoke to tanker driver, he was already set up and the fuel was unloading , i asked him about the inground servo tanks, and that often i have noticed in quite a few servos the tank fillers where not even marked,
"he said yes thats correct".

I said to him are all the fittings different so you cannot put the wrong stuff in, his reply ...... "they are all the same".
i said they must get the wrong stuff put in on occasion, it would be very easy to do?
his reply, " they do get a mud map of the layout , but that happens more often than you might think and it costs the company a lot of dollars and usually it means the tanker drivers job".

so there you go, not only can you have problems with water contamination, there is always the chance you may get dodgey juice another way( keep a receipt ).
