Yes it can and it could be either the fuel pump or the carb. Many years ago i was working at a Ford dealership and we got in a new T bird that was backed on the car carrier with the nose down .

The lot boy suffered second degree burns and the driver was not hurt .Good thing we were only a half mile from the fire dept. We used every fire extinguisher we had and were not gaining on it.So you lucked out with it not blowing up on you .
