WHen it is fully extended, over the vehicle, one lowers it as one inserts the nozzle into the : filler tube. There is NO DRAGGING the hose over anything. I have never in almost 50 years of driving and : filling up EVER got ANY marks from hose. *** Perhaps your trunk is narrow or flat enough. Although, minor, there is the fact that the hose lies on the trunk during filling and could transfer dirt to the finish. Regardless, I am not discounting your method. However, for some your method may not work. It won't for me because I drive a full-size van. I *must* approach the pump so it is always on the filler tube side. Then there are those with filler tube locations closer to the middle of the vehicle. The hose would have to come over the roof. )-: Richard
