I'm not aware of any such law, but at my airport we couldn't refuel
inside the hangar due to insurance requirements. However, it was
never a problem on the ramp.
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.
