Gloves for Fueling

There is a very good chance that at least one of the nozzles at the typical truck stop fuel lane has a drip, which means that the handles are covered with diesel fuel.

 

I went to the local Menards and bought some rubber gloves. They are cloth lines so they slip on easy but are treated on the outside so the diesel just wipes off easy.

 

Amazon sells the best gloves for the job of fueling.
If you order the Predator 9760 gloves. They come in packs of a dozen and cheap in price as far as I'm concerned.
I hauled gasoline for 6 yrs and these are the gloves we used when unloading.
They do a great Job and are chemical resistant. They've got a nice lining too.

 

I've been buying the cheap gloves and throw them away when they get to bad. Save your receipts and turn them in when tax time comes around.

 

thats stupid, stupid!!!!!

 

I hauled gasoline for many years and the gloves we used were good for petroleum but also worked well on just about anything. We had many fittings and hoses to work with and the gloves would last a month or two. That's everyday use, at least 20 times a shift. If I were you I'd look on the internet, just type in gasoline gloves and you'll have all the gloves you need. BTW, the company would give us a box of gloves at the new year and they'd last over a year.

 

Almost 4 year old thread.

Even so, 4 years after posting this, I still haven't saturated my gloves with fuel.

 

You're probably that guy who's never bumped into the hanging leaking hose from the pump to your tank too

 

Nope. I watch for that sort of thing and avoid it.
