Are there any follow-up issues if refueling without turning off the engine?

Forgetting to turn off the engine while refueling generally does not cause adverse consequences for the vehicle, but it poses certain safety hazards. During refueling, sediment may be stirred up, and fine particles could enter the fuel lines. If the engine is left running, the vehicle's electrical systems remain active, and the engine operates at high temperatures. In the event of an electrical short, this could potentially spark a fire. Therefore, it is essential to turn off the engine and power before refueling, and only restart the vehicle after completing the refueling process and securely closing the fuel tank cap. Below are some refueling precautions: 1. Precaution 1: Never refuel the car before turning off the engine. 2. Precaution 2: If the attendant has not turned off the fuel nozzle, the driver must never start the car, as this could easily lead to a fire. 3. Precaution 3: Avoid refueling during thunderstorms. This is also a safety measure to prevent lightning strikes and potential fires. Since automotive fuel is highly flammable, refueling releases flammable vapor into the surrounding air. If struck by lightning, the consequences could be catastrophic.
