* Safety: Fuel is highly flammable, and a spark from your car's electrical system could ignite it, causing a fire. The engine running generates sparks and heat, increasing the risk of an explosion.
* Environmental Concerns: Leaving your engine running while filling up releases harmful pollutants into the air.
* Fuel Efficiency: Your car's engine is designed to run efficiently when it's at operating temperature. Idling while filling up wastes fuel and can cause excess wear on the engine.
* Regulations: In many countries, it's illegal to fill your car with fuel while the engine is running.
In summary, turning off your car engine while filling up is a simple safety precaution that protects you, your vehicle, and the environment.
