Narrative:
During taxi in to gate at airport; I followed the lead-in line which branched off the taxiway. We cleared the safety zone as we approached the gate.the fuel truck was just outside the right side of the safety zone. There was a company ground person standing next to the truck. The marshaler was signaling that we were on the taxi line and approaching the stop bar. As I brought the aircraft to a stop; my check airman said 'stop'. He then informed me that our winglet had contacted the fuel truck.
