But, it *is* a fuel amenity. It's down to the individual what picture they have in their mind. Additional tags would clarify this, but I don't think alternative tags are needed.
You could set all the fuel types to no (fuel:*=no), or add a new one (fuel:motorbike=yes). Or add motorbike=fuel. Keeping it as amenity=fuel means all mapping tools and search tools continue to work.
