Narrative:
I was flying a part 91 leg from wilmington, de, to harrisburg, PA. I landed and taxied off the runway. When I pulled onto ramp, I had no brakes on our #1 system. I went to #2 brakes -- nothing, parking brake -- still no brakes. I ended up shutting the engines down and used a hill to help stop the airplane. Unfortunately, we hit a fuel truck that was parked against the hill and ended up with a dent in our wing. I remember later in the evening that the normal green brake lights never came on after pulling off the runway. On short final we did an antiskid test and it didn't test. I briefed no brakes till 105, however, I never turned the antiskid switch off. If I would have turned the antiskid off, we wouldn't have hit the fuel truck or ran into a hill. I should have known the system better. In the normal checklist that we use, antiskid inoperative, landing distance, add 2000 ft. Again, now that I understand the antiskid system better, I can prevent this from happening by turning off the antiskid switch.

Title: AN ACR FLC FLYING A DA20 FREIGHTER AT MDT EXPERIENCES A HYD LEAK RESULTING IN THE ACFT CONTACTING A FUEL TRUCK ON THE RAMP.
Narrative: I WAS FLYING A PART 91 LEG FROM WILMINGTON, DE, TO HARRISBURG, PA. I LANDED AND TAXIED OFF THE RWY. WHEN I PULLED ONTO RAMP, I HAD NO BRAKES ON OUR #1 SYS. I WENT TO #2 BRAKES -- NOTHING, PARKING BRAKE -- STILL NO BRAKES. I ENDED UP SHUTTING THE ENGS DOWN AND USED A HILL TO HELP STOP THE AIRPLANE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HIT A FUEL TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED AGAINST THE HILL AND ENDED UP WITH A DENT IN OUR WING. I REMEMBER LATER IN THE EVENING THAT THE NORMAL GREEN BRAKE LIGHTS NEVER CAME ON AFTER PULLING OFF THE RWY. ON SHORT FINAL WE DID AN ANTISKID TEST AND IT DIDN'T TEST. I BRIEFED NO BRAKES TILL 105, HOWEVER, I NEVER TURNED THE ANTISKID SWITCH OFF. IF I WOULD HAVE TURNED THE ANTISKID OFF, WE WOULDN'T HAVE HIT THE FUEL TRUCK OR RAN INTO A HILL. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE SYS BETTER. IN THE NORMAL CHKLIST THAT WE USE, ANTISKID INOP, LNDG DISTANCE, ADD 2000 FT. AGAIN, NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND THE ANTISKID SYS BETTER, I CAN PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING BY TURNING OFF THE ANTISKID SWITCH.
