I see people doing this in UK and I don't understand - aren't you worried about scratching the paint? I'd rather reverse in front of the pump so I'm on the correct side than run the hose over my car if it had to rest on the bodywork.



You can just hold the hose and keep it of your car? It isn't too heavy so I don't see why this isn't an option.

I've done it myself a couple of times in foreign countries where there are only 1 or 2 pumps, never had to do it in my own country.


I do it all the time and it's never scratched the paint of my (admittedly small) car. It makes it much more efficient to just drive up to any spare pump without worrying about the side.
