You can require your tanks be cleaned for any number of reasons and most of them are not bad fuel. I have an aft tank that is trashed. It was done so because it sat for too long in Delaware before I bought the boat unused but with fuel in it. The forward take was just as bad but less worse off and easier to clean.
Cleaning a fuel tank will cost me about $350 US. Filling it is about $100.

had to have their tanks cleaned-out recently in Auckland due to a contaminated delivery of diesel to the primary station in Westhaven Marina

We had a batch of cars that got the fuel systems destroyed because they got too much ethanol mixed in the gasoline here. It was a problem at the refinery. So what? I seriously doubt a Baha filter would save you from contaminated fuel delivered from the refinery. The Racor filtration system should save you from all but the worst events. It's a chance you take when you buy fuel from public docks where anyone can buy it.
