I couldn't find any mention of it in the TRA judging guidelines.  Latch in
the back seems logical, but the trunk/boot lid will hit it and
unintentionally open the cap (as well as eventually marking the paint).  So
I have mine turned with the latch to the driver's side; as I always walk
past that point no matter which side the pump is on.  

And when the pump is on the other side, it's easy enough to stand behind the
car and fill from the rear.  In fact, that's generally what I do anyway.
