I am not a professional with a professional opinion. However, I do know how a fuel pump works. No possible way for ignition. At least, no worse than having fuel in there while driving down the free way.

I work in Aviation. Hot-fueling is a common practice. (Fueling with props or heli-blades still rotating.)

They recently banned it at my airport but only because the blades or props are the danger. Someone could walk into them, drive into them, or throw something into them. In my opinion, there is no danger here. Any other thoughts?
