I would suggest that rather than an issue of illegality it's probably more of an issue, of what your hangar insurance will cover you for, and good old health and safety...

Wet motoring
Fuel vapor emitting is likely dangerous than that of a liquified avgas. Just bear in mind, static and live electricity is all over the place. Safety, property and lives must not be compromised. 
I remember doing Dry and Wet motor on DC10 in hangar 5 at Gatwick. we had shop air supply for A/C pneumatics.
Also I did an idle run on a BAC 1-11 inside a new hangar at Muscat that had not had the doors fitted yet.
Don't think I would do either now though with modern H&S police.

Did dry motoring with Loganair as the hyd rig broke down and landing gear checks were due, also on F406 at Prestwick when there was no rig ,worked quite well both times. Wet motoring would not be done now with all the H&S stuff,
we live in a PC world.
Keep them up boys.

737-200 taxi test in the hangar
Why bother hooking up the tug and dragging the thing bhack into the hangar when you can coast right on in.
It was rolling forward under its own steam and then to do the right thing the engines were shut down just as it was approaching the hangar. Unfortunatelythe elex pumps were off, and when the engines were shut down oops no hydraulics.
fortunately the accumulator was fully charged!
