Narrative:
Lead reported that during the pushback process; a fuel truck failed to stop and drove behind the aircraft. The lead had to 'slam' the brakes in order avoid a collision. The lead was unable to make the vehicle number due to the speed of the vehicle and outside lighting conditions. Incident was reported to operations so the proper department could be notified.
