Usually I do, but it was a little too hot today so I kept my engine running with the a/c on.
Any baw keep their engine on while pumping gas?

I keep it on while pumping at Costco to give the attendant something to do other than being overly helpful.

Yes but I also don't gas up until a good bit past the E so I'm sure it's necessary for me.

Turn off the Engine but leave the car on so I can blare rap music and piss off all the boomers walking past me

I always leave the engine running.

Almost never turn my engine off while filling up. Only if I'm going inside the station while I do it.

Mine is always left running.

No.
With newer vehicles, I think there's almost no risk of explosion.
Wasn't there a myth busters episode about this? I can't remember.

No!
Why should I?

Too damn hot to turn it off.

Not turning your engine off while filling is trashy.
Posted on 8/7/19 at 4:48 pm to lsu xman
Not currently but used to do it a lot.

Yes I do.
I also make my kid unbuckle in case something goes wrong.

They did the cell phone while pumping gas thing. They couldn’t figure out a way to make it explode even when going way overboard with a 15 watt Ham transmitter or something. Pretty funny how every gas station bought into the myth though. I remember the big No Cell Phone signs. Had a lady at a RaceTrak in Bossier shut down all the pumps because I wouldn’t put my phone away while pumping. Dumb bitch.
*They traced the whole myth back to people going in and out of the car while pumping and building static electricity thus causing a spark. That is why you are supposed to touch the car after exiting (to ground yourself) before grabbing the pump handle again.

Probably a good idea to turn engine off while filling up. A lot of newer cars will give you a check engine light due to an emissions error code if doing so.
