What are the effects of pumping gas with your car on and why are we told not to do it?

1.27K views

I have a cousin that is part of law enforcement (he’s sort of like boarder patrol) and he said that while shadowing a superior that he learned that, because of his job, he should pump gas with his car on and it had just become a habit for him. I thought that was a big no no for fire hazard reasons. What else is bad with that?

It CAN cause a fire. Just because it usually won’t, doesn’t mean it is safe. When dealing with flammable liquids, don’t take chances. Even police should turn their vehicles off. They have to obey the same laws as the rest of us.
