Add fuel while running?

That POS car deserved it. Mercy killing.

 

I think I just peed a little.

 

.... so the gays there shit, surf gay porn on their devices, and smoke, all while "pumping" gass?

 

I cant say for all aircraft but B1 we had an APU basically a small jet engine running while we refueled...theres also "Hot refuels". JP-4 was more problematic as it has a lower flash point but JP-8 had a higher flash point so not as much of a chance to catch fire.
Its really not that big a deal to leave it running while I fill the tank...Im not in downtown Detroit...I still wouldnt leave it running anywhere else if Im not around it.

 

The sgt needs to stop fucking around on Reddit and get back to his cube to take his ORM and Safety Training. !

 

also...

 

Hey Bro... its early but it is Friday.... and holiday weekend... might even be early nuff for beer!

 

True dat my Bro!

 

Once again no one has said why it is unsafe to leave it running, I'm waiting...

We have don't smoke.
Be grounded.
Don't talk on cell phone.
Don't have a gasoline fight.

None have to do with the vehicle running.

 

Thread is dead bro. Stop waiting for internet gems. Get out there and have fun and remember, rev it up while you fuel up baby!

 

I like pie

 

Sticker on pump that says this:

 

"Yeah Bob, yeah yeah. Whatever. <Sigh and required eyeroll>.

"But I have not seen with my own two eyes anyone blowing their ass up while smoking or running their truck or both or neither so clearly this is bogus. And I've never actually "seen" this sticker on my pump. Maybe you Photoshoped it. Never even seen it on Snapcrap or Facechat so cant be real."

"And besides, you survived taking this picture with your cell phone undoubtedly close to a fuel pump. Did you die? Right."

"So yeah. Fail!"

I did 22 years in aircraft maintenance. Any time we did a hot refuel (engines on)..we had the fire dept in their truck on the spot waiting for a fire. Any time we refueled with and external power unit, we had a maintainer with a 100Lb halon fire extinguisher on the spot waiting for a fire.

If you think fires don't happen watch this C-141 burn to the ground from 1993.

Planes are expensive...so's my truck. I'll do my risks on the trail.

 

Comparing a jet to a truck...? This keeps getting better.

 

I refuel while running........I eat sport beans and drink Gatorade while running marathons

 

Well there we have it, finally a sensible answer. Please lock this thread asap!

Haven't gotten past the first page so I don't know if it's been said yet, but it's illegal everywhere in Oregon (except for some REALLY rural areas and only at night). The only real exception is motorcycles pump their own gas.

 

I'm not sure I buy that refueling while the engine is running is risky. Sure they is combustible fuel in the air, so what. It's in the air when cars are pulling in and out of the pump lanes while other are refueling too. Anything that is creating a spark from car while it's running is internal to the engine. Any hot surfaces from the car running are still gonna be hot during the 3 minutes you are refueling, unless of course you leave your car turned off at the pump for 30 minutes before pumping. Other sources of spark likely don't care if your car is running or not.
