I have personal experience of this. A sticking needle valve in a Holley carb on my car caused the fuel to spill out of the overflow tubes (which in a Holley carb vents to atmosphere not back down the carb throat) and found its way onto the stainless exhaust manifolds which easily reach petrol vapour igniting temperature. Anyway, I managed to stop and put the fire out under the bonnet which basically wrecked everything that wasn't metal (except the body). My insurance company agreed to cover the complete cost of the parts as I stated that I wanted to do the repairs myself. They were as good as gold about it and paid up straight away.

Morale of the story is to fit the Holley with the marine version of the vent tubes which interestingly bend over and point down the throat or even better buy an Edelbrock {-} {-} {-}
