When my boat sprung a leak in the fuel tank, and several gallons went in the bilge, all battery connections were disconnected with the batt switch at "OFF", and all fluid, including the copious amounts of water added to dilute the fuel as advised by an airplane mech Navy Chief, was bailed by hand in 5 gallon buckets from the bilge to the disposal area using cups & sponges.
