Something tells me this electrical installation, located next to a gas station fuel pump, was never inspected. Do you think this cable popping up from an underground installation, the nonmetallic wiring methods used, and the strange connections meet the requirements of the NEC? I don’t think the installation meets the requirements of 514.1, which applies to motor fuel dispensing facilities, marine/motor fuel dispensing facilities, motor fuel dispensing facilities located inside buildings, and fleet vehicle motor fuel dispensing facilities.
