I'm not aware of any such law, but at my airport we couldn't refuel

Fueling and defueling operations in hangars are really dangerous. I
personally know of a few airplanes and structrures lost this way.


So is fueling outside in the rain. I know more airplanes that came to
grief from water in the fuel than from a hangar fire.

I certainly don't advocate fueling in the hangar in general, but it is
is raining or 20 below and snowing, it makes sense.
