Not true.

Contamination, particulates, water, or even in some cases other fuel types often settle out by weight.

So if you happen to get the last of the fuel at the bottom of the tanks you might very well draw the short straw. There was a recent incident (on a 330?) where the hardstand plumbing to their gate had been repaired and got contaminated in the process, no other planes seemed to be affected.
