I've heard not to leave a car running while fueling up. Is that the same when fueling up a reefer, should I cut the reefer off when fueling it up?
Fueling reefer while reefer on?

Won't hurt anything. Keep it running, especially if you have a sensitive load on. I wouldn't want to risk it not starting for whatever reason. Just my 2 cents.

Diesel isn't as volatile as gasoline. You're absolutely fine to leave the reefer running while fuelling.
-
No spark plugs....you'll be alright leaving it running.

Crude Truckin' and Jdm5jdm5 Thank this.

The only time it might be an issue is if it is literally almost running on fumes. The agitation could introduce air or sediment into the fuel pickup system. But you should never run a tank below half IMHO so it should never be an issue.

Just thinking about fueling...(slight threadjack)
Once upon a time, there were FULL SERVICE truckstops. Attendant at the fuel island would ask you how much. You walked inside, ordered 'the Special', called mama on the payphone, ate, paid for the fuel, tipped the attendant for fueling and washing your truck, and hammered out.
"How much did the truck wash cost, Six?"
It was free! The special and a beverage was $5! In fact, the most expensive part of the whole ordeal was the calling cards. I guess those really were the good Ol days.
Man, you'd go driving along, and hear some sweet girl on the radio, telling you what the special was, how much fuel was, what exit they were at...etc. The thing I haven't figured out all of these years was who the heck was eating all of that banana banana banana pudding. Give me apple pie heated and a scoop of ice cream. Keep the baby food and wafers.
Yeah, there were buffet joints, but I always liked the specials. 1 plate. That's enough. You can't expect to pig out and drive. Well, I couldn't.Toomanybikes, foggy, wore out and 2 others Thank this. -
