I wish my fuel fill neck wasn't mounted in the side rail. You have to fill ever so slowly or it spews out all over your shoes. My pocket utility knife has a taper I slide in the squeeze handle to run so slow that everyone thinks its a hundred gallon tank. It's a pain. Better to have the fill neck angled more upward thru a side saddle tool box or some other way.
A company truck I drove once and a while had that issue. I would pull up on a block at fuel pump.
About the shoes. After decades of pumping diesel I learned to keep a squeeze bottle of baby powder in with my fueling gloves. Splash on clothes? Cover with powder, then brush off. Keeps you from spreading in the cab, and smells better.
