That's why I never left the airplane at an out station until the fuel truck showed up, I wanted to see which one they were going to use! Lots of line boys didn't know the difference between a turbo-prop and a recip. More than a few times the 100LL truck showed up to fuel our TURBO Commander. It didn't help that it looked a lot like a Shrike from a distance, which was a recip.

We had another one fueled with Jet A that didn't take off. The lineman complained to the pilot about having to use a funnel because the nozzle didn't fit.

That one was ours. The tanks had the restricters installed. But the fuel truck was never fitted with the "squished nose" nozzle which had been purchased and sat in the store room for a couple years.
