I'm in a pedantic mood.

I do believe that spilled gasoline would not be an ignition source. It would be an accelerant. Something else (a match, a cigarette butt, a wet starting turbine, a hot chick walking by) would be the ignition source.

Be that as it may, you are quite right. Spilled gasoline and model turbines are not a good mix.
