Do you think you evenncome close to the possible LEL while pumping?


sure...if I remember right, the LEL of gasoline vapors is only a couple of percent. You exceed that every single time you pump gas. I would say that anytime you smell gasoline, you are above the LEL.

I would argue that unless you are in the fueling nozzle or within 4" of the nozzle you would not cross the LEL threshold necessary.

I forgot the exact distance, but about 6" above a open bowl of gas will not produce the necessary LEL at 90 degrees.
