"I thought turn off the engine before refueling?"

Responding to @freshestdude01, @Mixed__Money wrote:

"Not necessary. Even with our cars. The engine can be running while pumping, it won’t cause any damage. It’s not suggested to do so though because it’s a fire hazard due to the vapors."

@omoAgbetuyi commented:

"Aviation fuel is not as volatile as Premium Motor Spirit. Never advisable to have your car engine running when refueling."
