shutting engine off at gas pump

[boredguy128]

When I get gas i don't shut my engine off (because I care about my turbo). Now i am wondering why there is signs that say shut the engine off when fueling.

And if you are going to post a response be sure to be precise. I don't need things like ignition, if so state where from.

I have been putting serious thought into this and have even asked cops if it is a law and they don't know.

Um, ever stop to think that in addition to the potential safety hazards, it is also for insurance reasons?

It's not good for business when a car burns in your gas station.

Bored wtf does it matter? Your going to a gas station to fill up on gas cuz your running low, why leave the car running and just waste more gas, it defeats the purpose of getting gas. If you really want to waste your time trying to figure out why they make stupid cautions and signs when they "apparently" aren't needed, go find out why they would ever make this sign:

i am not wondering about cell phones just because they are magic to people and Rf engineering is voodoo to most engineers doesn't mean you should go blaming what you don't understand exactly like hanging people out to dry when leaving car running fueling when pumping.

The new jersey thing where they fill your car for and leave it running is true I have a person i worked with who lived in new jersey

Also the posts about the vehicles all have to do with people touching the knozzle

Race cars, nascar,f1,indy champ car All those fires with when the motor is running happen from fuel getting on the hot motor or electrostatics.

If there is no reason then why post signs

I'm closing this just because you type like a gibbon. It may relate to your inability to comprehend other facets of common sense.
