What is your take on this theory/story/whatever:

I will not fill up my gas when I see a tanker truck refilling the tanks at the gas station. I will give it a day to settle in their tanks before I fill up. The idea that the gas filling the tank at the station would cause sediment to be stirred up which would then feed into my car from the pump.

Is this a bogus thought? Is there any truth to it? The tanker trucks themselves have filters, the tanks/pumps at the station have filters, and the majority of stations now all use plastic lined tanks so the amount of sediment in the tanks would be minimal at best.

A completely moronic thought process?
