fire on the water

i just updated to 1.3 patch and things are much better now but i notice fire on the water long after ships sink. now flames burning off fuel for a minute or so i understand but 5, 10 minutes of fire? well it might be longer but i sail out of site and it was still burning so.... eternal flame maybe? lol

has someone fixed this yet? i am running with no mods stock game v1.3

thank you
