Fun fact: Formula 1 actually banned refueling because they had so many accidents by doing it. The cars start the race with enough fuel to run the whole thing.
Think it happens a lot in the winter. People start the gas and go back into their running / heated car. It’s a bad idea because you can generate static electricity going in and out of car, pump could start to overflow, and well… you should be watching pump when something highly flammable is being pumped into your vehicle.
Why would anyone do that outside of a formula one race?
Even F1 doesn’t take on any fuel during pit stops these days.
FYI Formula 1 banned refueling during races in 2010.
Oh that’s news to me. Didn’t follow it for a while.
