Details
An aircraft was substantially damaged during a collision with a fuel truck while taxiing off the runway after landing.
Sequence of Events
According to the pilot, after landing she observed a fuel truck driving on the taxiway to the left side of the runway. She stopped the aircraft on the runway and requested taxi instructions from the control tower. The tower instructed her to exit the runway onto the taxiway where the fuel truck was located. The pilot then communicated again with the control tower to clarify the situation, and the tower responded that they did not want the aircraft stopped at the end of the runway.
The pilot reported that the fuel truck subsequently moved off the taxiway onto the grass on the northeast side. As the aircraft passed the fuel truck, the left wing struck an extension on the end of the truck, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft.
