Would a fuel tank room for generator require explosion proof fitting per NEC? Thanks.

Depends on the fuel.

what is the area classification?

 

[gadfly56]

yes.

Probably not, then. Otherwise, there are an awful lot of oil-fired home heating systems not in compliance.

Diesel is not considered flammable. But using RMC and FS boxes would be an appropriate wiring method, IMO.
