Is it illegal to pump gas in a running car?

I think so; a fire could be started if you ran your car while pumping gas, so it's just common sense not to do it. many newer vehicles have a fuel tank pressure sensor that will trip the check engine light if the gas cap is loose, leaking, or removed while the engine is running

Why does the check engine light come on when starting the engine of a 2002 Hyundai accent?

If it is just coming on while you start the car and then going off while the car is running, that is normal. If it is staying on after the car is running, it could be that the cap to your gas tank is not completely closed. The cap has to click atleast 3 times when you close it. I have had this problem on mine before.

Gas tank on 1985 Chevy camaro is full and you can hear the gas pump like it's running out of gas and then open the gas cap while the car is running and there is pressure then the car turns off?

blockage in the fuel lines or fuel filter is a possibility restricting fuel flow when there s no pressure in the fuel tank.


Why does your 2000 Camry idle rough while pumping gas into the tank?

It is because you are leaving your car running while pumping gas into it, if you didn't notice how everyone else at the gas station turns their car off, you should, it is dangerous to do so and you should discontinue no matter what car it is you are fueling or whether it is acting right or not about it. their is a chance you could blow your car up, and the gas station along with it...
