"Not necessary. Even with our cars. The engine can be running while pumping, it won’t cause any damage. It’s not suggested to do so though because it’s a fire hazard due to the vapors."
@omoAgbetuyi commented:
"Aviation fuel is not as volatile as Premium Motor Spirit. Never advisable to have your car engine running when refueling."
