Fuel is more important than potable water.
Not having potable water in the tanks is yucky.
Not having fuel in the tanks is a safety-of-flight issue.
Again, the pilots here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I rather suspect that the detail of the procedures for fuel are commensurate to its importance.
