Close call today fuel everywhere.

[37 Coupe]

I let attention lapse on my '37 Ford coupe last year or so and thought it would just be its old reliable self and it seemed to at first.Started right up but rough running ,smelled gas and it was everywhere over generator with its paint peeling off,all over firewall,heads ,battery,very lucky it did not catch fire before I discovered.At first I thought fuel pump or a fuel host to pump split but must have been a stuck float? if fuel pump kept pumping fuel everywhere.Guess I will find out this week when I get time. This was a lot of gas all over garage floor,thought it was coolant when I backed it out.I feekl very fortunate.
