- If the car is literally "running" or moving and getting gas pumped in it at the same time (which I doubt is even possible), I don't know what would happen.
- If the car is at a standstill like at a gas station but the engine is still running and you're pumping gas into it, I'm 99.9% sure you wouldn't die from it, and I'm at least 95% sure nothing would even happen to you or the car. But I'm not sure if it depends on the car, cause I've tried this with a 1990 Honda Accord and 1996 Ford Aerostar almost all the time.
