There is a huge difference. You'll notice that if you end up with your 
Diesel pickup in front of a amenity=fuel shelf out of Whiskey bottles 
filled with gasoline. The quantity is even too small to substantially 
fill up a car.

Those pumps from a barrel are fine for a car. We used them recently on a 
trip near Doi Inthanon. Filling up 500 Baht of Diesel was no issue at all.

There is operator=independent.
I suggest this along with amenity=fuel for everything which is suitable 
for filling up a car or small truck/pickup.

This is to differentiate from big brands like PTT which usually also 
come with a convenience store/coffee shop.

Vending machines selling petrol for cars also fine.

The problem are vending machines only serving for motorbikes and those 
bottle-shops.
I would like to avoid them being amenity=fuel as it is hard to convince 
every western map-maker to query additional tags before deciding how to 
render them. That tag is already too established without extra tags.
