## Probable cause

the failure of the fuel truck driver to follow airport operating procedures, and yield the right-of-way to the airplane.  Factors were the stopped airplane, which obscured the fuel truck from the approaching airplane and the approaching airplane from the fuel truck, and the lack of visual aids on the vehicle to help compensate for restricted driver visibility to the right.
