Couple of things here. One I did and other I saw the damage. Guy brought in a Super M farmall gasoline tractor to shop. Hadn't run for a long time so I left it in the lot, went out and drained the gasoline out of tank. Some gas got into clutch housing. Later I put in fresh gas after cleaning carb etc, etc, and hit the starter. Boom, the gasoline ignited from spark of brush's in starter. Scared heck out of me and I never did find the plugs that were in the clutch housing plugging the holes where a belly pump would be if it had one.
Other time was hole in the side of the oil pan on a 5 ton Army vehicle. As all the components like distributor had to be water proof for fording they were all vented. Vent lines hooked together from crankcase, distributor etc to one common connector. Anyway, the spark of the points set off gasoline fumes in crankcase and blew the cast oil pan a nice big hole. Don't recall for sure but I think a check valve was supposed to prevent that.
