Diesel pump

[hhsting]

I have diesel dispenser with diesel tanks.

Would those be considered hazardous location? I looked at 514.3(A) but it says Not handled while Diesel is handled at dispenser. I dont see how this applies.

Could it be anywhere else?

Is says where you can verify that liquids not having a flash point below 38°C, the area shall not required to be classified. Diesel typically has a flash point of 50° or above.

(A) Unclassified Locations.
Where the authority having jurisdiction can satisfactorily determine that flammable liquids having a flash point below 38°C (100°F), such as gasoline, will not be handled, such location shall not be required to be classified.

You should not decide what the location classification is. It should be determined by a qualified person.

Once the classification is made, you can then look at the appropriate NEC sections.

Ask the engineer of record which classification applies.

And that would be correct as those areas are not normally classified areas.
