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

743 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?

While the potential risk is very small, you likely won’t be around for a 2nd chance if you ever have an issue.

Basically, the consequences of failure are so high (likely fatal) that being way overly cautious makes sense. It’s simply not worth the risk.
