Before you heckle me - no I’m not stupid, and under normal circumstances I usually would turn the car off. In this particular instance, however, my car battery died because I was away for 6 weeks, and there’s not enough gas for me to take it on the highway and get to where I need to go tomorrow (after I try jumping the car). Since if i turn the engine off there’s a large likelihood that the car will die and won’t turn back on again, turning the car off while I fill my tank isn’t a very viable option. Can I get away with it one time, or will I ruin my engine or blow up my car?

If it makes a difference - 2020 Land Rover discover (sport). If that’s not viable, what are my other options for charging my car up enough with only <30 miles in the tank so that I’ll be able to also refuel my car without the battery going out?

Thanks!

    FWIW most new cars with capless gas tanks require you to use a special small nozzel/funnel that is found by where your tire jack is stored, to use a gas can. Get your battery checked, sounds like you have a dead cell.

      Branch of wood push the flap and fill it. If you dont have te funnel cut the bottom of plastic bottle put it in and pass a branch through it thats the perfect method without propper funnel. I have done it multiple times.

        Shhhhh that takes being creative why would you do that when there is a purpose built niche tool to accomplish the same task
