As you know for water runoff gas station's aprons are not level. My question is there a better position for the truck for the most accurate fill? Like front facing up or facing down the hill?

But I'd hazard a fairly educated guess it's nearly level. You might do well to get a magnetic "torpedo" level, and "stick" it somewhere flat (the hood?), or the bed side panel. I keep one on my dash. Overkill? Maybe. Just thought I'd mention it.  Chris

I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule but most chains adhere to that standard. 2% is max for handicap access.
Old enough to know better, too young to resist.
