Narrative:

Within a couple of ft from the gate while taxiing in on the #1 engine our left wing struck a fuel truck. The marshaller was giving the captain all the signs that the aircraft was clear to continue. The captain had the plane's nose tire exactly on the yellow line. On post collision inspection I noticed that the fuel truck was parked on top off the yellow caution painted striping on the ramp -- not outside of the lines. There should be more training and communication between the people who work on the ramp.
