multi-company fuel card
High confidence, even if there are no ghits for it, because there are only 2 ghits for the French!
Individual oil companies or petrol-station operating companies issue fuel cards to companies with fleets of trucks or cars so staff can tank up on credit. Then along come the middlemen who issue a fuel card that is accepted by a number of different oil companies, making people's lives that little bit easier...
Loads of ghits for "fuel card".

Or "multi-supplier fuel card" in case "company" gives the impression several fleet-operating companies share an account.
I think finding the right expression is as difficult as finding one for "multibank bank card", eg Visa, Mastercard, as opposed to bank-specific withdrawal cards.

something else
as fuel does not always equate with petrol/LP gas/diesel.
This answer should be more specific to petrol/LP gas/diesel I feel.
Considering that fuels like alcohol and bio-diesel and hydrogen are entering the market. I like the general thrust of Bourth's answer but I would like the english language to slowly weed out misnomers if at all possible. I am trying not to laugh ... but a multi-branded fossil-fuel card is not something I would like suggest here but rather...
multi-branded petro-chemical fuel card .
If this is not much chop then I apologise on behalf of the english language....

This is my point...
If you have two "multi-brand fuel cards" in your hands
one for petrol and one for ethanol, but the question relates to a petrol/LP gas/diesel, is it not better to retain the specifics of the question and not to lose something in the translation.

In the old days people use to use charcoal burners.
I am probably making too much of this issue but I am a bit of a die hard for specifics. If the questiion did not have 'pétrolier' in it there would be no issue...
