+5 I fully agree with Dave! We need a clear differentiation between regular filling stations with large underground containers and the shops that sell a few liters of diesel of which you may hope that it isn't polluted and doesn't contain water.
When I travel in countries like Malawi or Ethiopia I try to plan fuelling in such a way that I can use "normal" fillings stations. I don't care so much about the brand or the roof, but large quantities and protection against manipulation are important. The "shops" I only use in emergencies. So please use amenity=fuel for regular filling stations and extend the existing shop=fuel with attributes to specify what fuekl is sold.
