Diesel gloves
Posted by NoDebate8208@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 13 comments
I handle diesel fuel a lot, I need recommendations on gloves. Dipped gloves only last about a week or so before the coating gets eaten away by the fuel. I’m not opposed to disposable gloves but I would go through probably 8+ pairs a day.

I'm assuming you haul fuel or do mobile/fleet fueling? I'd be hitting up my truck boss to be buying some good gloves meant for said job, OR if you guys use a specific tanker repair shop I'd wager you can run in there and grab some gloves and charge that shit too the company account.
If you have to buy your own PPE, fuck that job.

If you’re delivering fuel, do not ever buy your own gloves. That’s management’s responsibility. If management doesn’t, it’s time for a new job. Don’t buy your own PPE.

They make insulated ones for the winter too. All the fuelers where I work wear these, and theoretically they're not even touching fuel.
Something like these

Been using similar ones at work when dealing with harsh chemicals and they hold up way better than regular nitrile ones. Just make sure you get the right thickness because thin ones still break down pretty quick with constant exposure
