dryer vent to gas meter spaceing
 

I need to relocate my daughter's electric clothes drier from the front
to the back of the basement to install a washroom where the laundry in
now. The current dryer vent will become the bathroom exhaust vent, and
I need to vent the dryer out the back. Only problem is the only spot
that is anywhere near accessible is right next to the gas meter.
Is there a code issue with placing the vent for an electric dryer
closer than X feet from a natural gas meter/regulator?

Anyone know FOR SURE if there is or is not a problem???

No, but you might want to remind us that you're in Canada (IIRC) when
you go inquiring about codes.

What did the building inspector say when you called him? My permission
won't hold up in court if there is a violation.

There is a specific number of feet of separation between the vent for
a heat producing appliance and the gas pressure relief valve discharge
in the National Fuel Gas Code in the US so surely you can find what
the equivalent document is for your province of Canada. The same
document has a required separation between the gas pressure relief
valve discharge and any building opening such as windows doors and
vents.
