My 'drill' starts with taking out a baby wipe and placing it on the floormat. I add a measure of Stanadyne, get a paper towel and grab the nozzle with the towel. I always fill at the slowest setting, which can take a long time on a 35 gal tank, as a fast setting seems to generate more foaming with the possibility of overflowing as the pump may not shut off. When done, I carefully drain any fuel from the nozzle before putting it back on the pump, and then wipe my hands with the baby wipe. You really don't diesel on your door handles and steering wheel.
I have had some pumps overflow and dump a couple of gallons of fuel all over the side of the truck, I never go back to those stations, and it takes a few rinses with a wheel degreaser before you don't smell fuel. I also carry some of the Gojo citrus based hand cleaner in each vehicle for whenever a very good hand cleaner is needed.
