Hello
Yes i can recall such situations, one was with the fuel runing down from the arm all way to the socks ( that was a fast PPI around midnight and the Y from the MFI broke ).
But I learned to keep the head away.
Also I allways have a labor clamp in the pocket and some screws ( 10 & 8 mm fits to block ).
But still waiting to top this:

Was it the Newfangled Reformulated Gas California has now (At $1.76/gal)
and that you'll soon get hit with- right in the Pocketbook and your
Fabric Fuel lines! For while the Maestro was changing distributors, he
noticed that the Man from Alaska's Inlet Fuel Line to
the Fuel Pump, purchased from a Large, Midwestern Porsche Dealer
four years ago, was wet with California Reformulated Gasoline.
Almost like a sponge, and in dire Need of
Replacement. A Word to the Wise. Watch those Fabric Fuel Lines!
Especially on those 356's parked in the Garage, next to the
gas-fired Hot Waster Heater!
