Mike:

That would not be a good worrying choice.  Gasoline has an ignition point of
853F.  Typical ignition spark temp is 2500F.  Exhaust gas is typically 1300F,
maybe 1600F for a turbo.  I've seen fuel drips evaporate off hot exhaust parts
(not that i'm saying it's good situation), but you'll never see fuel drip on hot
sparks for long.
