Narrative:While taxing to parking, the airplane collided with a parked fuel truck with the outboard 18 inches of the left wing. The pilot was taxing on the centerline, at a normal speed, and was not aware that the fuel truck was obstructing the taxi way. He said he "misjudged the distance" between the airplane and the fuel truck.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudgment of distance resulting in the inadequate clearance between the wing tip and the fuel truck.
