Narrative:

After landing on runway 33 at jst, we were cleared to taxi to the ramp and monitor ground control. After clearing the runway and rolling onto the taxiway, we had to stop the aircraft because of a fuel truck converging head-on. Ground control ordered the fuel truck to exit the taxiway and pull off into the grass. The fuel truck stopped in the grass and we were reclred to the ramp. Looking from the cockpit, I determined that there was adequate clearance from the wingtip to the fuel truck. As we proceeded to continue, the first officer was observing the right side of the aircraft to ensure propeller clearance from the edge lights because I slightly steered to the right of centerline for added security. The left wingtip struck the rear of the fuel truck. There was no damage to the truck and the left wingtip fairing and light were slightly damaged on the aircraft. As the PIC of the aircraft, I am to accept all responsibility. In hindsight, I or the first officer should have requested to the tower to have assistance in the means of a marshaller to visually aid us in clearing the fuel truck. There were 5 passenger on board and no injuries were reported.
