OH I missed one:

Claim: trucks filling tanks cause dirt and debris to get stirred up and sucked into the pumps and deposited into your tank.

My response: True...to an extent. There is no doubt some deposits in the tank that get stirred up. However, I bet these tanks have internal baffles or boots that are used to collect any debris or water that can enter the tank during filling. Additionally, I bet the gas pumps have filters and your car has a fuel filter. It probably wouldn't hurt much and if you insisted on waiting, I bet you could come back in an hour after the filling truck leaving and you'd be fine.
