Dont quote me, second hand knowledge here and i dont know how true it is. I was told that the automatic stop on the trigger from the pump works better when the engine is off. Something about the running engine that dosent happen all the time but can cuase the pump handle to not shut off when the tank is full causing a spill on to the ground. Again my source said it dosent happen all the time, and i cant verify my sources info. Beyond that i dunno.

The sign predates automatic stopping refueling nozzles, by many years.

Cars were significantly more dangerous in the early years, with very few regulations helping guide designers around safe refuelling practices.
