I wonder how real that is being if you leave your gas cap off the "Check Engine" light should come on, or is it the "Service Engine Soon" or what ever they call it. Either way what a idiot!

Nice post and welcome to the bmwboard.com!

That can't be real, the hose nozel would get pulled off the car, but it wouldn't rip off the whole pump hose...

But yesterday I was driving absent minded and pulled into a gas station for about .75 cents of gas and left my engine on when i went to pump the gas, strangely enough no light came on. It's probably because the tank was already full and i wanted to top it off just before I left NJ...[hihi]

Actually I think this is a real as it gets. I know quite a bit about photo editing and I know that to replicate this in photoshop would take much more time than its worth. Especially considering that the picture was taken on a rainy/snowy day. It would make the editing considerably harder. Besides, I've seen plenty of pictures of this same sort of thing even before the "digita age."

The hoses DO have a "break away" for that situation as someone else noted. I only know this because I spent summer working for my Uncle whole sells and installs gas pumps to Shell and Cheveron. Shitty freaking job....smell like gas all the time.
