Question:

Your engine runs a pump when you are delivering compressed gas. Should you turn off your engine before or after you unhook the hoses after finishing that delivery?

Answer: Turn it off before unhooking.

If your engine is required to be on when you are pumping a load of compressed gas, you are always adding an extra layer of danger to a situation. Make sure that you turn off the engine before you unhook any hoses, as soon as the delivery is completed.
