Here's a related and somewhat controvertial one. When refueling should you leave the blowers on or off ? The consensus has flip-flopped on this over the years.

The blowers should be off and depending on the type of boat you have, you should close all ports and hatchways etc as well to prevent gasoline fumes, which are heavier than air, from finding their way to the lowest point in your boat which is usually the engine room.
Yes, you should ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS run the blower prior to starting the engine, not only after refueling but in all cases!
