The air pressure from cranking will not do anything to the unburnt fuel. Once it lights off though, things will get rather interesting and could get expensive too.
Miles has it right here...
Sorry I don't have a flight manual to hand to get you an N1 speed, but I would suggest that premature ignition of collected fuel is unlikely and that as it is in liquid form it will all happen at the same glorious time upon normal ignition.
