Pervention
Two items to consider along this line:
Always turn the fuel supply off at the tank and run a bit of fuel out of the line before shutting the engine off.
Leave the engine area open as possible at all times.
If you are concerned about fumes in the bilge use your personal fume detector. (nose)
If you put the intake tube in the bilge it will float on top of any water in the bilge. If you anchor it down it could end up under water. Either way not the best situation.
Most boats I've seen have an instillation like Loki9 described.
And welcome to the forum.
