Fuel gloves

I buy the latex dipped cloth gloves at Harbor Freight. $1.99 a pair. One pair lasts me about a week with regular daily use, then I relegate that pair to fueling duty.

 

honestly, the cheap lightweight black neoprene gloves that you can find on sale anywhere work as good as anything for daily fueling [only]. They're easy on and off (no lining to pull out). And your hands won't sweat in them (they have a cotton back hand side), and they don't put "dirt" under your fingernails like other lined and leather gloves do. The pair I'm currently using is probably going on 6 months old and I think I paid 7 or 8 dollars for a pack of 3 at Walmart.

I wear them in real cold weather for short periods, but I can't recommend them when the temp goes below about +15 F

 

Gloves are for sissies.

I fuel up, spill diesel on my hands, pick my nose, and exit the restroom without washing my hands - head straight for the buffet.

Man up you lot.

 

Diesel fuel can give you cancer

 

I thought that was you I saw at the Sapp Bros in Nebraska last Friday!

 

Only if you live long enough for it.

 

I"m still waiting for the cancer.

Most of you only have to smell it while fueling. Some of us have been around long enough. We drove trucks with blowby tubes.

I drove a cat engine with broken piston rings for the summer. Before the shop parked it to fix.

I don't know about cancer. But i can defenitely tell you about the cleaning power of your plumbing. And the diesel smell that lingers around after. And it don't have to be from blowby. I had the same problem from a diesel leak i had about 6 months ago.

 

Gloves stay in box mounted on the frame....... never see the inside of the cab.

 

A plastic bag helps contain the sweet aroma.
