Question 5733

Before filling your vehicle's fuel tank, it is necessary to...

  1. only shut off the engine.
  2. shut off the engine and turn off the lights, only.
  3. shut off the engine, turn off electrical systems such as the radio, and turn off cell phones.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: shut off the engine, turn off electrical systems such as the radio, and turn off cell phones.

To refuel, the engine must be off and the lights must be off. You must also switch off the radio and other electrical systems and turn off your cell phone. Turning off only the engine, or just the engine and lights, is not enough.
