Bailing out of a fighter with engine fire

[il2crashesnfails]

Seems like ALOT of fire will hit you when you bail due to the wind pushing the flames directly over you?

I have been trying to bail more often then land when on fire.

I have noticed in IL-2 you have a certain amount of time before the plane explodes violently.

Probably because it reached the main fuel tanks? 

The explosion isn't small it usually blows both wings off
