This is incorrect. You can set fuel on fire but it won't explode. Having fuel in water makes it even harder to set on fire. It's one of those movie effects that everyone believes to be true, like shooting a fuel drum. If you shoot a fuel drum, even repeatedly, it will just leak fuel, but it won't explode or ignite.
