Occam's razor suggests that the two most likely liquid contaminants are water and ethanol. If there is no visible sediment (particles) then the shop can test for those without even sending the fuel out, it takes a few minutes.
A side note, but I agree that it isn't worth calling the department of weights and measures. They typically worry about how much fuel is dispensed, not what that fuel consists of, in my experience.
