in airline ops it seems that you burn fuel so quickly, on a daily basis there isn't much of a problem...in the US all of our fuel has the additive sometimes known as PRIST.

now, if you got fuel without prist, and it sat in the tank for months at at time you might have a problem...but airliners don't sit (in regular service mind you), they fly, they burn fuel and the fuel is replaced later on.
