Fueling up
Can anyone verify this, can I have the engine running while I'm putting in gas?

Sure but probably illegal in a few states.

That's a bit of an odd question so why are you wondering?

I do it occasionally. I think the days of sparks coming out the exhaust are long gone - unless your GF is bouncing it off the rev limiter while you’re gassing up.

Pump
My battery had died so I needed the car to be running or I wouldn't be able to start it up again at the pump.

Yes, you can. The gas gauge will show that you're filling it up too.
Being in a North Dakota, this is a common thing to do during the winter so you don't get stranded at the gas station. Not many cars like -55 degree weather.

You may get a check engine light for the gas cap being off.

In N.Y. it is illegal to leave any vehicle running while putting fuel in it . Also all gas cans have to be plastic or urenthane. [no metal]
I pulled into a gas station one time with my motorcycle and there was a car on the other side of the pump with his hood up & another car pulled up. I asked him if is car wouldn't start & answer was yes. I said your not going to jump the car at the pump are? Dum ass answer is yes. I blew my top & told him to push the car out of spark danger. Thing got a little heated between us when luckly a cop pulled up. Things turned in to argueing between them. I got on my bike and left. Never did hear the out come of the situation.
