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

670 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?

I live in Canada where the temperature goes down to -50 in the winters. I have never ever seen someone pumping gas with their car running. This is incredibly dangerous due to fuel vapors and the constant spark of a running engine.
