It is also very corrosive to electrical components also, needs to be cleaned ASAP.

Ugh! Really really sorry this happened. Hopefully the cause will be readily diagnosed and an easy fix. Same too with the paint and cosmetics.

That gives me the screamin' heebie jeebies. Now I have to get a fire extinguisher before I start my car. And I was doing so well with my Advance Autoparts addiction... three days sober...crap.
Good save, man. Sucks.

Good job getting it out so quickly! You risked far worse (see below from another fuel fire locally - no extinguisher was nearby). The car pictured below is back on the streets, although it required extensive work.

Wow look like it could have been a lot worst if you had not been quick minded, great save Randy! With that said, seeing those fuel PSI gauges left on for daily diving has alway made me cringe.
