Hi Jason.
You don't really need to worry about fire/explosion. To start a fire you'll need all of these three things:
1. Something flamable - Is present = Gasoline.
2. Heat - Is present = short.
3. Oxygen - Is missing.
The fumes in the tank doesn't leave room for oxygen. It simply cannot ignite. I know about this, as I am a semi-driver for an oil-corporation. Sometimes if we have a bas "earthing" in one of the tanks, the gas will actually boil inside the tank, filling it. As there isn't any oxygen, it isn't a problem.
Cheers!
P.S. I'm also certain, that if these inside pumps were hazardous, they wouldn't be allowed to use....!
