Spare wheel location usually.
But there's no accounting for dual exhausts...
Owners just run the risk of their car blowing up. Will teach them for having fancy cars tbh.

Whats wrong with not stretching the dirty hose all round your car?
I never do it, I like my car without scratches thanks.

also, apparently, u can tell on which side the fuel car is by looking at ur gauge on instrument cluster...
if the hose on litle pump thing is drawn on left then cap is on the right, and if its on the right cap is on the left..
I used to think that, it's not the case anyway - I've found some exceptions

I can manage to do it without the hose touching my car at all, and make sure it doesn't touch - hold the hose with the other hand if need be. A bit of a dirty hand's better than waiting in a queue of dafties for half an hour.
And I'd have thought it was nothing to do with anything what side it's on, just what's the designers/engineers think is more suitable.

I do wear the gloves if they're there, don't see the problem with not wanting my car filthy.
Diesel pumps are worse though, your hands stink after using a diesel pump without the glove on.
