The gas level should just be at the bottom of the hole so with the little vibration of the engine idling it's possible that with the float set correctly you might get a slop-over, but nothing significant. If you get anything more than that, the float is set too high. Given your concern, I'd say begin to unscrew the plug almost all the way and check before totally removing it. If you're really apprehensive, have someone with you and if much comes out put your finger over the hole and have the other person turn off the ignition. Remember, the gas there is not under any pressure other than gravity.
