Always leave it running if anyone is inside it. City folks get freaked out over it. Frickin worry warts.
Cars have the exhaust on the opposite side from the fuel fill up door as a safety feature from when cars used to backfire. They don’t backfire anymore.

Judging by the vehicle make and the door wide open just hanging out.
Loud music blaring for no good reason.

I dunno man. I guess people just remember the tragic explosion that immediately follows this fillup.

I usually only fill up at Costco and they just pay someone to walk around and tell you to turn your car off, if not at costco i do leave it running.

Not when I'm in a Democratic looking station

I turn it off if I’m by myself usually, but sometimes I leave it on if everyone is in the vehicle.
Another reason I leave it on is if some 1987 Caprice Classic painted like Spongebob is blasting music out of their Jensen 6x9’s, I like to turn up my own music.

Do you turn off your vehicle when filling up?
Why would I?
While the gas is pumping that is my smoking a vape/cigarette time while I text and rub myself all over things so I can create a electronic shock.
Turning the car off is uncivilized.

You haven't thought this through, huh?
You've obviously never seen a carbon track down the side of a spark plug or a cracked DIS module. Don't worry, you aren't the only clueless one in this thread, take this one for instance:
quote:

Hint: most vehicles today use COP and DIS modules for the spark plugs. These things are mounted outside of the engine, they operate at much higher voltages than older vehicles, and they can sometimes suffer from small cracks. I've seen such modules sparking to adjacent metal surfaces and I've seen engine fires started due to those problems.
I love how these threads bring out the ignorant...

Leaving your vehicle running poses no risk of explosion during refueling.
Simple as that

If there really was a risk you would see a vehicle exploding at gas stations or race tracks or in someone’s garages a few times every decade.
But you do not because there is no risk.

Gas stations are ripoffs

I tried leaving it running for the first time this morning. Has some lock on the fuel door and wouldn’t let me open it unless the engine was off.
Need to figure out how to disable that bitch.

I do it out of habit but really these days it isn't needed.
Used to be that fumes were everywhere, you could smell a gas station down the block. But with modern fume restrictions this really isn't a problem anymore.
If it were really that dangerous you wouldn't be allowed to start the engine to drive off.

So I have heard both sides, then I did some back of the napkin math.
222 million drivers in the USA, say 10% of them fill up every day so 22 million fill ups. Say only 10% of them leave their car running, so that means 2.2 million people do it a day. ~800 million fill ups a year with vehicle running, and can’t find a single news article on leaving a vehicle running lead to a gas station explosion. I’m going to start being a crazy person and never turning off the vehicle.
