Does Not Turning Off the Engine While Refueling Damage the Car?

[LaAllison]

Generally, not turning off the engine while refueling does not harm the car, but it poses certain safety hazards. The vehicle's electrical equipment remains operational, and the engine runs at high temperatures. If there is any electrical leakage, it may easily trigger a fire. When refueling your car, always remember to turn off the engine and power. Only restart the engine and drive after refueling is completed and the fuel tank cap is securely closed. While the engine is running, the car's exhaust continuously emits fumes, often accompanied by sparks, which can also threaten the safety of the gas station. When refueling, as the concentration of fuel vapor increases to a certain level, any spark generated by the running engine could ignite and cause an explosion.
