Re: Inverter for fridge... Reply #25 – May 27, 2017, 01:55:39 am With tens of thousands of RV being fueled daily, eventually there will be a fire but it isn't all that common , especially considering how few RVers actually shut the refrigerator off, when fueling.Most states require active safety devices on gas pumps. Large spills are uncommon.Unless a gas nozzle pumped gas into the refrigerator's exterior door, ignition from a spill isn't likely, the flame or spark are several feet off the ground. Gasoline needs a rich mixture to ignite.Is there a chance of an accident? Sure, but what are the odds?You probably have a better chance of dying doing things you do daily, like driving at freeway speeds.Humans are not very good at calculating chance.I'm shutting the refrigerator off, when fueling, and calling it good.I have plenty to worry about already.Larry 5 Likes

That's just me plus ya never know when ol' Hitch may reach up and strike a match. 😳Kent 1 Likes
