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?

All it does is throws off your MPG reader and over a long time MAY cause a vacuum seal failure. No fire risk. Cars should not shoot out flames or sparks with normal use lol
