Reddit is saying that leaving car on during getting gas is dangerous and Karen behavior. I have been driving for 30 years and never shut my car off while getting gas and no attendant has ever said anything (new Jersey) nor anything has ever happen. What are these losers saying?
>>28784574If you have a spill for some reason you can ignite fumes with the engine I drive a diesel so I dont give a shit
>>28784574Nevermind the website, it is pretty dumb to let your shit run while pumping up. That's like a no Brainer, it's like saying don't stare at the sun. You don't really need a whole dialog tree explaining why this is stupid.
I swear to God ive only seen these insane dumbass ideas come from yanks. Like every second motorvlogger sits on their motorcycle and fills it up half the time spilling petrol everywhere.What's the problem with just ~doing the thing ~ as it should be done
>>28784574Your car holds an electrostatic charge. It's dry enough out and you jump a big spark at the right place and you'll end up a piece of charcoal. Speaking of charcoal, leaving your car running while you gas up, in the wrong neighborhood and you're definitely getting jacked.
>>28784574>New JerseyBased. One of the best states in the world.
>>28784574>frogposter posts stupid time wasting question againwhy are contrarian retards so averse to performing one trivial action that completely eliminates the risk of a catastrophic situation occurring? why is that so hard? same thing with anti seatbelt retards. it literally doesn't inconvenience you at all, takes one second, and deletes the possibility of you being ejected from your vehicle from all future timelines. you just want to be a contrarian.
>>28784574Why invite the risk at all, even if it's unlikely to happen?>I have been driving for 30 years>IMG_0807.jpg You are 19 years old
>>28784574My mom has been smoking cigarettes for 55 years and has ever had any cancer.
I will do it if I think my battery might be weak and there's no downhill nearby
>>28784574There's nothing wrong with that. But people who park in a gas bay and go inside the station to shop or use the bathroom or whatever deserve to be raped and murdered in prison.
>>28784761seethe pussy, I'm not parking next to normids you freaks have no self respect so there's no chance you respect anyone else's car by not crashing your door into it.
>>28784582>I drive a diesel so I dont give a shitso if you are running your diesle and bob next to you is getting gas, no way your deesel will start a fire huh
>>28784574>that leaving car on during getting gas is dangerousI never shut my engine off when getting gas. Starting your engine is the hardest thing you can do, so leave it running, just don't spray gasoline on it.
>>28784574I leave the car running while refueling in winter. If racing series can hot-refuel it's good enough for me.one time I had a gas station employee (who was outside smoking, 20 feet from the pumps) try to start shit and claiming it's illegal. I pointed out their smoking too close to the pumps and told them to call the cops. They shut the fuck up.I do shut off my motorcycle when refueling because with that there's an actual risk
>>28784620If you're part of the mob, it's indeed a great state.
>steals your car
>>28784774Thats their problem, I have insurance and eyes
short of arson, most gas station fires are a result of gas vapor ignitionby keeping my car running, i'm farting out lots of air to disperse any lingering vapors
>>28784615I don't live in some dry shit hole like California where just farting can start a forest fire. I live on a mound of rust instead.
>>28784594>What's the problem with just ~doing the thing ~ as it should be doneThis is pretty much why im so angry all the time. So few people do this and it makes me so mad and im unable to take compliments because im just doing what anyone should be doing in the first place.
>>28784574>getting gasOh anon you poor thing.You can't afford an up to date car that doesn't need fuel, huh?Maybe 2026 will be your lucky year
I always turn my car off as I presume it costs more fuel to run while filling up than starting a hot engine.
>>28784621>why are contrarian retardsYou answered your own question already.>same thing with anti seatbelt retardsThese retards at least are only harmful to themselves. I'm all for retards eliminating themselves from the gene pool. Subhuman niggers like OP are a threat to not just themselves and they should be dealt with as soon as possible but it is what it is.
>>28785581Cars sip negligible amounts of gas when idling.You can test this by turning the petcock off or disconnecting the fuel line while any small engine you have is running.The principal is the same for larger engines.That said I still turn off all my vehicles when refueling because that's just a behavior I have ingrained.Any other time I'm idling for less than ten minutes and gonna stay around the vehicle, I'll leave it idling.Thank you for reading my blog post.
>>28784574I'm sure one of you retards has a gif of what happened on a gas station when some idiot left his car running and then spilled some gas on the ground, it's from the POV of a dashcam as another driver backs away from the gas station once it lights on fire. You post it often enough on /b/ so I know one of you losers have it
>>28785729my car spat fuel back out at me once and nothing happened
why isnt such trolling stupidity deleted and banned on sight?OP is obvious troll who encourages dangerous behaviour
