Why do people say that its dangerous to pump gas while your vehicle is running?

655 views

I have never turned my vehicle off while pumping gas in my life and have yet to have an issue. Especially coming from a Northern state where it gets pretty cold you see a lot of people doing the same thing. What is the potential risk or is it all just a myth?

Fuel and ignition source have to be the obvious answer. However, if you’ve ever been standing under a moving rotor while hot fueling a helicopter, you seem to feel hot gassing a car is not that dangerous.
