    usually nothing happens. Sometimes it happens even with the blower running.

    Nope.. 2 or 3 were burned, some severely if the news is right. One had it as a 50' boat, certainly diesel, the other changed it to 36', could be gas or diesel. Most likely gas if there was explosion vs just a diesel fire.
