Narrative:

Going into dca as flight XXX, I called in range for a gpu because our APU generator was inoperative. On the ground we called for a gpu. When we parked I left engine #2 running while we waited for a gpu. We waited around 5 mins before we got a gpu, but it did not work. So some of the ramp personnel went to get another gpu. While waiting, the fuel door opened. I called operations to let them know that I did not want to get fueled with the #2 engine running. The person in operations told me that the ramp people know this and would not let the fueler fuel. 1 min later, I saw the fuel going up, so I shut down the #2 engine. I talked to the ramp personnel/fueler and operations person and let them know that I did not want to get fueled with the #2 engine running. The passenger had all deplaned before the fueler had started fueling. I thought that we could only fuel with an engine running if it was the most distant engine running per flight manual 1 and if the station allowed it. Supplemental information from acn 625485: captain XXXX believes that we were in violation of our regulations.
