It's not necessary to shut a diesel off when refueling...gas fumes are dangerous. A neighbor almost burned down his barn gassing up his tractor. It wasn't running, but when he disconnected the gas pump lead from a battery there were enough fumes to ignite and follow right to the tractor, which burned up. I remember when I was a kid my dad told me one time he was gassing up the JD B. The battery was dead, so he left it running. He filled it a little too full and some ran down the side of the hood and splashed on the spark plug and the fire followed it right up to the tank. He said the only thing he thought to do was put his gloved hand over the gas tank opening. Fortunately that smothered the fire out. I'll take diesel, much safer.
