Original Note:
Pumping gas with the engine running is risky and often illegal. Gas vapors can ignite from heat or sparks, contributing to over 4,000 gas station fires annually, causing deaths, injuries, and $30M in damages. https://www.carparts.com/blog/can-you-pump-gas-with-the-car-on-plain-answers/ https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/what-happens-if-you-pump-gas-with-the-car-on https://www.firestonecompleteautocare.com/blog/driving/refueling-with-engine-running/
