Boat explosion at Table Rock Lake, State Park Marina
Postings on social media indicate a boat explosion at Table Rock Lake, injuries to some on board. Blowers were being run, highly experienced captain...initial reports indicate a fuel filler hose had a leak/split in it...damn.

Lots of surface area contact to vaporize adds extra problems for sure. I suspect with enough raw fuel, the blowers pumping air in and mixing, makes a more favorable mixture to ignite.
