Fuel pumps and Vacuum cleaners.

[KPOWERS]

Can a vacuum cleaner be installed beside a commercial fuel pump?

best guess is no but you might provide a bit more detail on the installation

edit spelling

As long as it is at least 18" away from the outside of the fuel dispenser and at least 18" above ground it is permitted. Table 514.3(B)(1)

might want to check the local fire codes. fire marshalls some times have a problem with electrical motors near petrol. 514.3(b)(1) may say O.K. but the fire marshall may have a problem with it. Saftey first. A vacuum cleaner can create a static spark and thats all that is needed to ignite petrol. As far as I know the fire marshall would have the last say in an instalation of that type.

Only if he has a written and adopted rule or code to support that.
