GNU Emacs can sometimes be more clever than you think and convert SPACEs to 
TABs. Check the contents in the source file! Position the text cursor at the 
beginning of the blanks series and move it forward. Does it jump forward? Or 
count the characters in the lines with wc (mark a line, M-x 
shell-command-on-region, wc, RET).

Are there Fortran compiler options to not convert a series of SPACES into TAB? 
Does the output in *shell* buffer contain TABs (does the text cursor jump? Does 
wc count TABs instead of SPACEs? Is C-u C-x = on the output showing TABs?) You 
can also use isearch to find TABs: C-s C-q TAB.

When in doubt, use brute force.
