Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: Why do you have to turn your car off when you fill up your tank? by logan0921

For 100-years, NO ONE ever turned their cars off typically to fuel, for sure after self-pay became the norm. I think part of today's worry is how hot catalytics get and could ignite vapors. Probably still hot though.

This one is the classic static spark though, getting back in the car error I pointed out. Forward to end, lot of filler.
