safety mandates shut-down. The fuel return line heats the fuel to its flash point and creates a fire hazard (feel the return line). Shut-down reduces the hazard when fueling.

So you've gained 3 years of Exp in you first month of being a member?
And just because you've been driving a long time does NOT mean its any safer for you to leave the engine running on a gas vehical while you fuel it.

Hey now! He's a truck driver, not a mathmatician

And he said he's been driving for 35 and trucking for 32. Last time I checked we can drive something other than a truck.

It doesn't hurt anything to fuel while it is running. This like the ninny's argument that we all should have to get out of our trucks backwards using 3 points of contact because 1 guy fell on his face a long long time ago. There's nothing wrong with getting out of your truck face first if you know what you are doing and are coordinated and not a clutz.

I only ask because yours in wrong. I taught aviation maintenance from 2005 to 2007 as well and 1 in 10 students were bright enough to make the classes interesting. The rest, like you, simply took the class and automatically assumed they knew everything.scottied67 Thanks this. -
