Narrative:
Due to a mechanical problem with the fueling truck, fueling the aircraft at the gate in sfo began very late. At scheduled departure time, fueling continued and shortly thereafter, the agent closed the forward entry door. Both cockpit crew members were preoccupied with flight deck duties and were temporarily unaware of the part 1 deviation. Fueling was concluded before any action could be taken.
