Greetings again and Soakedlontra I surely hope no one allows their tanks to be filled under those conditions. The filters might do their job and take care of the issue but even then I would not do it. The filters are not cheap and depending on proximity to over-spray vs. compressor intake. I would just wait or move to another location.
Obviously I am very picky about my gas but can one afford not to be? It has been proven to me that there are many honest great fill stations out there. And I am not trying to harm or slander anyone but there are times when air quality for BREATHING, "LIFE SUPPORT" needs to be evaluated. It would be interesting to take a sample under the conditions you described and test it to see. In fact there are probably tests posted on a compressor filter site somewhere that would give us an idea to what to expect.
Safe diving all and please check the air analysis sheet at your LDS to be sure it is current. IF air smells bad it probably is, lungs are tough to replace!
