Addressing fuel spills promptly is essential for safety and environmental protection. After refueling, any spilled fuel should be cleaned up to reduce fire risk from flammable vapors, prevent slip hazards, and prevent soil or water contamination. The appropriate action is to clean spills using absorbent materials to contain and soak up the fuel, then dispose of the contaminated material according to local regulations. Also check for leaks and address any fueling system issues to prevent future spills. Ignoring spills or attempting to refrigerate or spread the fuel would only worsen hazards and waste safety. Cleaning up spills is the responsible, safest response.
