Used to happen all the time in Avalon. Especially at the fuel barge.
Usually the blower would have prevented it.

Sometimes in-ebreated people fueling with their own fuel cans to avoid the $4.99/$5.50 per gal gas dock sting, or some dope put the fuel into the bildge breather vent tubes instead of the fuel tank fill.
