I get out and fuel my own Z and hold the nozzle the whole time.Now some of you may say thats a pain waiting there while it fills.Think of the guy in the car next to you drooling over your new 370 just wishing he had one to fill up!
So I don't mind at all.
Have had some attendants that won't let me work the nozzle.No problem I just leave and go to the next place.They say there is a law in NJ that doesn't allow anyone but the attendant to fill the car.Well being kids I guess they are afraid they are going to go to jail or something.So my law is " always fill myself"!
So give it some thought because it may save your car from getting scratched or you and your car getting drenched with gas.

I wonder if a cop sees you doing that if they'll write you a ticket. I've never seen my family pump their own gas there when I visit them.

That was funny, I am sorry but it was. In NJ you are not allowed to pump your own gas maybe that is why.

I do every now-and-then if I know I'm only going to pump a couple gallons of fuel. No...the car won't blow up. There is no evidence proving it to be more dangerous to full up while the car is running vs. shut off.

The only annoyance is the occasional whiney conehead in the Prius next to you. I just ignore them.

It's stories like these when I get upset with all the safety liability on the cars. Perfect examples of natural selection. The gene pool is getting more tainted by the minute :ugh:

And it's people like you over the years who have forced lawyers into designing everything from cars to children's toys.

I think you're yelling at the wrong guy - I would guess that awesomez would agree with you that if you want to blow yourself up, go for it... But please don't take any innocent bystanders with you.

bullitt5897 09-01-2009 11:38 AM

so your saying by me running my car while filling up is going to blow my car up and kill innocent bystanders? yeah that comment has 0 evidence to back it up. I have been doing that for over a decade with countless vehicles on countless occasions and NOT one Instance of a problem has ever occurred!!! The only reason you see those advisory stickers is because lawyers sat down and said "hey, if we tell them they cant use cell phones they may use something else that has an electrical charge so lets reccomend no electrical devices including the cars be on while filling up." They were covering their A$$E$ its even been scientifically proven that a cell phone cannot blow you up while filling up! This whole hoopla about your going to kill yourself and innocent others is just that HOOPLA it dont mean $hit. Granted smoking is a definite NO NO! I dont smoke so I am fine. If your gonna make comments like this at least back it up! Back on to topic...
