Fuel on the wing

Hey everyone - Whilst on my last flight I uplifted fuel from Humberside and the very nice lady who did it accidentally managed to get fuel all over the wing (she said it happens often due to the design of the nosel?)

I assumed that the fuel wouldn’t be a problem as it would evaporate quickly from the surface. But a few weeks on I thought to myself "actually was this dangerous, and should I have asked for it to be cleaned properly?"

After all there was a VERY strong vapor smell in the cockpit which meant that I had to open my air vents to stop it from going to my head...

Any suggestions if this had happened to you?

Cheers

Ian
