@cvvhrn There's a lot of new generator owners out there. Thankfully, one of our new ones asked our radio net about generator safety and we filled them in.

In response to this post@ai6yr well at least he asked that is something
@cvvhrn @ai6yr the preliminary accident report I read on the Deepwater Horizon suggested that the fire was sparked by volatile hydrocarbon fumes reaching the onboard generator air intakes after they had the blowout.
Sure you might get lucky most of the time refueling a running generator and it's more likely a generator will keep running than it is to restart successfully after refueling but... death by gasoline fire is not fun.
