That depends on a number of things. Location, size, etc... gas vapors require a spark or very high heat/pressure to ignite, and those things can absolutely happen. The likelyhood of the fuel in the tank igniting due to the leak is probably low because of the high volatility of gasoline and the required amount of air required to ignite it, but ultimately, no one including myself will tell you it's safe for liability reasons. fyi, motorcycle gas tanks vent to the atmosphere (aka leak vapors).

My opinion: No !!!!!
