Default Replacing the fuel pressure regulator, fuel spill...

Hey guys a quick question. I purchased the Lindsey Racing Instant RWHP kit, while replacing the fuel pressure regulator some of the fuel spilled as I was removing the old regulator onto the engine. Any suggestion about the best way to clean this up so it doesn't start a fire? I washed down the engine with a garden hose but want to make sure I do everything possible.

That should take care of it, fire it up. No pun intended

Make sure the hose clamps are secure and check for leaks.

David is correct, should be fine. most of what could catch fire is either evaporated or washed away.

Yeah, it probably wasn't that much so your OK. Now lets just hope you didn't get anything wet that wasn't supposed to.
