I bothered to check your previous question to get the full question. I fill cars with petrol and juggernauts with diesel, both North American models. The cars have a longer, narrower fill pipe which means I have to try harder to get the fuel spilling out the top. The tanks on the truck, however, basically have no fill pipe and are quite wide, thus making splash and splutter a common thing. It is avoidable by easing up when the fuel is almost to the top of the tank, but then it takes forever and who has that kind of time. I just wear regular gloves which are already filthy from checking the brakes and fluid levels. The smell is never too bad (course, I suspect my nose has no odour detection capability).
Sorry I have no brilliant insight on how to solve the problem, just another example of trucks not fitting the human body.

Er, could it be that diesel's oilier and doesn't evaporate a quickly as petrol? So it hangs round long enough to get on everything.
