I am in the fleet fueling business. I'll be blunt. You're an IDIOT if you leave a gasoline car running while fueling. Diesel not so much, but look up the difference between combustible and flammable. Gasoline vapor is heavier than air, it sinks and then covers the ground, and becomes a bomb. Interesting, was he fueling up the car while it was running ? I drive a diesel so at least I am not a full blown IDIOT lol. who was the idiot that posted video of car not be refuled that blew up?

Couldn't tell you the last time I shut anything with four wheels on it off to refuel.

So you call people IDIOTS, then post a random video that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand?

You all need to stop 50 feet short and push your vehicles the rest of the way if you’re pulling next to someone already fueling. Safety first people.

I would hate to be the cause of burning down a town Bruh... If someone walked up to me and told me to shut my truck off while I was fueling, I would laugh in your face and tell you to get bent homie. That is ridiculousness. That said I usually turn it off just because it takes so long to fuel. Now if its Summer and 107 and my wife is the car, that sum beach keeps running. There is almost no risk at all in doing so. Again, I am sure you turn off your cell phone when approaching a gas station as well right?

My bigger concern is the people I see smoking while fueling up. Stupid is as stupid does....

I'd guess there is a greater risk of the cat converter or a spark from static igniting fumes than there was from the vehicle ignition. For either to happen it would take a bunch of fumes to be present, like from a spill.

When people offer me unsolicited, unwarranted advice I do one of the following: 1. Smile and say nothing 2. Smile and say “yes ma’am” 3. “If I wanted criticism, I would have stayed home with my wife and mother in law in town.”
