Airlines with a policy that allows pilots to refuel by themselves?
We regularly adjust or set up the refuelling panel in our A320/21 fleet. We have a laminated card in the flight deck as an aide memoir when we divert and have to do it ourselves. Certainly no restrictions.

From my own experience it's aircraft size dependent. Anything bigger than an A321 or a B757 usually either the refueller has full responsibility or the ground engineer/mechanic.
There are anomalies. AA air crew tend to look after their own refueling on a regular basis even with their bigger aircraft such as the 787.
