What are the issues if the car is not turned off while refueling?

Forgetting to turn off the engine while refueling generally does not cause adverse consequences to the vehicle, but it does pose certain potential hazards. The following are the risks of refueling without turning off the engine: 1. Electrical leakage leading to explosion: Not turning off the engine while refueling does not damage the vehicle's components. However, with the engine running at high temperatures and the vehicle's electrical systems still active, any electrical leakage that produces a spark could lead to an explosion at the gas station. 2. High exhaust pipe temperature: During vehicle operation, the exhaust pipe continues to emit exhaust gases. On one hand, the exhaust pipe remains very hot, and on the other hand, the exhaust gases may carry sparks, creating a safety hazard. Of course, gas stations strictly prohibit staff from pointing the fuel nozzle towards the exhaust pipe.
