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

652 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?

Low risk of disaster, but if there is an ignition of the gas then you are likely to be seriously injured/killed, with others getting harmed too. So why risk it just because you’re a little cold? I’ve lived in cold climates and never, ever left my car running while pumping gas. Put on some gloves and a hat.
