From the National Fire Code

"Flammable liquids shall not be dispensed by gravity from tanks, drums, barrels or similar containers"

I like that one John!

You've just told everyone how has a overhead tank to supply gas for their old tractors, lawnmowers, ect that they are in violation.

Of the 4 tanks I have one is overhead gravity flow, that one has gas in it, the others are diesel. I'm surprised my fuel supplier continues to fill it, but wait, their the ones that installed it. :?

Does that similar container include the gas can my mother uses the fill her lawn mower, after all that is gravity flow.

I fully agree that any electrical connection made at the pump should be of a permanent design and the other end connected to a battery, generator, 120 v outlet, ect not be on or next to the tank, I also agree that any 120 volt wiring should be run in conduit.

The 12 volt pump on my tank is connected to the battery for my backup generator setting about 15 ft from the tank, the tank is setting less than 10 ft from the building.

All of this reminds me of a conversation with a Ohio DOT officer back in the late 70's, he said at that time there were enough rules on the book's to make it illegal to operate a commercial truck in the state of Ohio. If they pulled you over and wanted to write you a ticket, they could.
