Fin -your English is fine!

Taking the list you provided (yes, I know it is not all)

heavier take off & landings weights - do you mean the extra wear on brakes and engines, because take-off and landihg fees will NOT be affected by tanking as they are based on declared Max values from your Certifictae of Airworthiness?

fuel service - I don't understand this - 95% of your tanking will be from your base or bases, where you will have time to put the tanking fuel on before departure - can you explain more?

parking fees - turnround at destination will probably be limited by passengers on/off time BUT you will not be held up by refuelling and fire service cover if needed etc.

delays - again, I cannot see where these will come from? Can you explain?

I do believe that the 'fine-tuning' you are seeking will not be productive in real terms, and I do not think any of the other parameters will actually 'reverse' the economy of tanking.
