If I'm filling up out with the semi trucks no I'm not shutting it down, if I'm near gas pumps yes I will..Practice good habits.
Just like with gun safety. Get in the habit of safe practices. Shut down yer truck.
The KC-135, was that in Alaska?Heck, in a rare instance, like PPL who like to talk on phones and stuff while refueling, bad things can happen. It is actually a state law to turn off vehicles while refueling, but some do, some don't, except under certain circumstances (Texas Transportation Code - TRANSP § 647.011. Fuel Restrictions). That not bother me as much as the "clowns" smoking while refueling, especially when it gets really hot, and U can just see the "fumes" in the air. We even blew up an immersion heater one day being in a hurry to get lit and not taking proper precautions. Good way to burn yer eyebrows off, lol.
Saw a KC-135 (Strato tanker) being refueled on the parking ramp one day. The FMS person either failed to follow procedure or something came loose, ie., static line. Fuel tanks in belly caught fire and that plane burned to the concrete, with only outer parts of both wings and 2 engines surviving. Talk about a bonfire.
NYThe KC-135, was that in Alaska?
4 decades ago, I worked in a high end European shop. The owner hired a new technician who hailed from Romania. When the owner gathered all around to introduce "Stefan". He, the new employee stated rather arrogantly how he "Knew everyzing!".Have had my 2023 6.7l for 2 weeks. Curious as to what others are doing with their engines while fueling up, I see folks all the time gassing up and leaving their engine running. I know these engines use a grid heater and do not use glow plugs, does that even matter in regards to starting the truck? Maybe that’s an old school train of thought in regards to diesels. I also see where the user manual says to limit excessive idle time. The one time I’ve gassed up so far I just let it run. What does everyone else do while gassing up?
