Yeah, you're probably right --
The fuel pump operates strictly in liquid fuel, and even in the fuel/vapor zone, where our proposed "full indicator" would be working, the fuel vapor/air mix would likely not be potentially explosive. Still, it just doesn't give me a warm feeling!
For me - I'd still like to go with "cork on a stick" technology
