Hi Lengendcpf, :welcome:
Personally I would not use any kind of electrical appliance inside a fuel tank because some vapor can always linger. IMHO the flashlight is not dangerous per se but the switch can cause some sparking and then
I would prefer one of those light sticks that look perfectly safe in a dangerous environment.

It's not the LED that will be the deciding factor. Rather, you'd need to look for Class 1 Div 1 rating for use in explosive environments. Even then, I'd check with the powers at be as to whether such devices are permissible.
Note: Pelican and Streamlight sell such lights in incan and LED.

The Streamlight above, and the Pelican that looks almost identical, are O-ringed at the head, & the head twists for on/off. Any arcing at the battery/led contact is contained within the O-ring sealed tube (at least in theory)

That's easy. Those approved by Mine Safety. An explosion proof light, ordnance approved. I can assume you own a airplane and want to do a cursory inspection. Ask your A&P Inspector.
This one is approved for areas where highly explosive gasses can be present.
It is the classification that tells you what light can go where, and not if it is an incandescent or LED.

Speaking of looking inside fuel tanks --
Here is a closed circuit video clip from a Brazilian Shell gas station which shows what happens when the attendant uses his cigarette lighter to look inside a gasoline tanker truck:

The streamlight and the pelican looks the same.
Is it under the same boss?
Something like Tudor and Rolex.
Same company and design but the Tudor is a cheaper alternative.

Like has been said, check with the authorities and follow this puppy by the numbers. I'm sure my EDC work light, a Pelican 2400 that is waterproof to 500' won't allow a spark but I don't want to advise use of it. What if you poke something though the lens and pop the incan. Yeah, I know, leave by the hole that will suddenly appear in the roof.

If you don't have enough training to know how to answer this question yourself, you don't have enough training to be poking around inside fuel tanks.
In aviation, what you don't know you don't know can kill you and kill others.
Talk to your trainer or supervisor.

If you look in my link, you see there are two versions of the PELI 2400, one Sone 1 approved and one not.
So again, check the classification before bringing a light into dangerous areas!

I know can talk to them. But they will tell me can use "this or that" cause it have been proven to be useable. If check the maintenance manual, maybe can find one or two specific part number for the torchlight which after searching basically not existing in the store.
That's why I want to know what the criterias for lights that are able to bring in.
