    There is something wrong with your car then

    Putting gas in your tank while the engine is running will not cause a problem with the running of the engine.


    1. Check light for gas cap/Evap
    2. Possibility of blowing you, your car and the gas station up (00000.1% chance)

    Those are about the only 2 things that can possibly happen when you fill up your tank with the engine running.



    yes it will cuz it happen to my car as well as some guys on norcal as well. go back to page 1 and read trinydex's post.

    an evap. problem wouldn't cause my car to stumble, on top of that my car doesn't blow its the other way around! :lol:

    trinydex's really didn't say anything or give any evidence that this is bad.

    Since this thread I have done it twice in my Evo and in my scion (my daily driver) I do it twice a week, I have yet to ever see a car stumble/misfire or anything of the sort because I put gas in when the car is running.

    Maybe certain cars (I would think Audi's, BMW's and such) would have some pressure related switch/actuator/sensor that could throw a check light and then tell the ECU something or another?? I really don't know I guess BUT I do know that I do this all the time and have never seen any malfunction besides a check light.

    Dont wanna call you a liar so that's why I said maybe something else is wrong with your car but then again, I don't really know

    Google search on this topic is endless, here is a few.

I've heard that filling the tank while the engine running could cause damage to one of the computers, as a result, the check gas cap message and engine light appears. Is that correct? Anyone had experienced this before? if so , any suggestions to solve the problem would be appreciated.

    Thank you.
    NOT CORRECT!!!!!!

    There are NO WIRES that run from the fuel tank to the computer.

    I have filled up with the car running, A/C on and my wife in the passenger side of the car many times.

    I was hopeful that bob aka standby was correct in recommending the new gas cap but I still stand behind my origional post.

    The dealer can diagnose the problem with his Diagnostic tool.

    Good Luck

    well....im not saying that your wrong, cuz ive seen buddies of mines do it on their NA's and they have no problem. cuz my car did stumble and you think that something is wrong with my car, which i know 4sho that nothing is wrong, i think it must be normal for some evo's since im not the only one with the problem. if you dont mind me asking, what kind of mods do u have and have u gotten a tune yet?
