Why is it bad to leave your engine on when filling gas?

There is no evidence to support this claim. In fact, it is perfectly safe to leave your engine on while filling gas, as long as the fuel pump is not in use. The fuel pump is the only component of the fueling system that could be damaged if the engine is left on, and it is specifically designed to be resistant to damage from this type of misuse.
