Ernie,

Carry a rag with you and make them use it over the nozzle until they have it over the open gas cap. Then when they start to remove it, make them put the rag back over it so no gas will drip onto the paint. It would also help if you can find a gas station there with some car guy working at it as he would be more careful when putting gas in.

Even more protection would be what another person did. He got some gas proof material and cut a hole in it that would go around his gas filler cap and neck. When he put that on it covered the fender and the area around that gas cap. Kind of over kill if you have a gas station person that will just use the rag over the nozzle. I used to do that when I was pumping my own gas as these darn California pumps have all that rubber crap to protect the environment and it is impossible to use the ones around here without them dripping gas.
