Fridge Off While Gassing up
So I recently read a post where a fellow mentioned turning off his refrigerator before filling up at the gas station and turning it back on when finished. I've never done this and never thought it was...

When one sloshes fuel on the RV near the pilot light for the fridge one might expect the spilled fuel it to ignite.
Doesn't apply to us because our fridge is on opposite side of fuel filler, but how does one "slosh" fuel? I've never sloshed fuel before.
But I do agree that if your fridge flame is close enough (few feet) to your fuel filler, then you might want to consider it. I see people smoking while fueling often. And then you have people inside the cars smoking. I've even seen people leave the engine running while fueling and have the radio going (use of battery) while fueling. Not knocking those who do turn theirs off, but I think those who tell others they need to do it, don't necessarily take everything into consideration.
