During fueling, should drivers be vigilant about engine operation?

Turning off the engine during fueling is crucial for safety reasons. An engine running while refueling can not only pose a fire hazard due to gasoline vapors but also increase the risk of sparks, which could ignite those vapors. Keeping the engine off eliminates these potential risks, creating a safer environment for the fueling process.

In addition to fire safety, turning off the engine helps avoid any potential accidental acceleration or movement of the vehicle, which could lead to spills or other dangerous situations. By following this safety protocol, drivers contribute to a safer fueling operation both for themselves and for those nearby.
