Here's what the article says about the Tunisian plane fuel problem:
The quality of the fuel provided to a Tunisian-operated charter plane may have caused the engines to give out and forced the aircraft to crash land off the Sicilian coast, killing 13 people, the Italian press reported Monday.
The tanker truck that supplied the fuel to the plane in the southern Italian city of Bari has been sealed and its contents will be analyzed to look for any traces of water or sand in the fuel, Italian newspapers reported.

The possibility of both engines breaking down simultaneously is "one in a billion," Silvano Manera, director of the Italian civil aviation told the media, adding that investigators were focusing on the double engine failure.
The daily Corriere della Sera reported two possible theories of what caused the crash: either the fuel was not clean or the gauge on the tanker truck was malfunctioning and the plane was given insufficient fuel as a result.

Thank you for the fuel report for the plane.
It is enough to give one nightmares.
No, can't say it is a surprise.
