(DF this is why the credit card terminal at YLEC asks three times for confirmation of the required fuel type.)
From my experiences at YPPF, YSBK and YCBA where AVGAS is only available from a tanker, the driver will not supply without first sighting a confirming sticker next to the fuel cap. I'd be thinking that the same applies with AVTUR.
I'm prepared to bet a carton of Coopers Pale Ale against anyone who reckons that the final report will find that the aircraft had AVTUR loaded at YMTG.
