Wireless around flammable liquids

We have a customer interested in installing access points in track service bays etc. for their wireless diagnostics systems. (laptops with wireless cards)

They've asked the question - is wireless safe round the fuel, oil etc?

Could the kit cause a static, sparks etc? I suppose, similar to what we're told about switching off mobiles in petrol station forecourts - although people do say this is an urban legend.

Does anyone know of any sites/docs that would be useful to quote to reassure?

Access points we'd use would be Cisco Aironet 1231G, with DC Injectors (located out of harms way, in comms cabinet).

Many thanks!
