Default QUICK QUESTION hlp plz

Hey is it okay to add fuel to the fuel tank while my car is running or should I only add fuel when the car is off?

Also try not to overfill the tank, some tanks will cause the engine to die when you close it. But you got it filling it while running is the whole idea. Wont hurt anything and its designed to work that way.
