It's a good job that pitcrew member was a quick thinker and turned off the air supply to the fuel tanks, otherwise there would've been an almighty explosion which would've had tragic consequences.
He turned off those air supply canisters because they force the fuel through the pipe into the car at pitstops‚ if he hadn't...well doesn't really bear thinking about.
WSC stands for World Sportscar Champioship. It´s the series in which one class introduced in 1982 was the Group C, which stands for consumption. In 85 there where 4 classes in WSC (C1,C2,B,GTX)
It´s like today where the series is LMS, and the classes are LMP1, LMP2, GT1 and GT2

I have once seen a "fan" carelessly stepping on a frontwing of a 70s formula 1 car, when the pits where open.

what exactly does air do for the fuel tanks? Also, how would it cause the tanks to explode? In any case, thank god for that pit crewman
