It would be very difficult to sue for something [injury to you] that might happen in the future. You could probably report the employer to Cal OSHA [Occupational Safety], but that might have a bad effect on your employment. Try talking to your boss and those above him if he will do nothing. Since people fill their own tanks now, why would you come in that much contact with gasoline?
