Narrative:

On taxi into gate, aircraft left wingtip struck fuel truck. Aircraft was on gate center stripe with marshaller (with wands). Marshaller continued to give come ahead signal throughout taxi-in. Stop signal was given after contact. Fuel truck driver, when attempting to move truck, backed into aircraft, striking it again. Aircraft received minor damage and entry was made in aircraft maintenance log. An air carrier F28 had pushed back just before. Perhaps marshaller did not consider difference in wing span between F28 and DC9 or may have confused F28 with DC9 and assumed clearance was adequate.
