When this happens, does the air around the aircraft smell like jet fuel?  Or is it not enough air involved to "fume-up" the area?

You definitely don’t want to do it inside a closed hangar! Yes, if the air is calm, you’ll smell a bit of fuel vapor for a few moments - mainly near the back of the aircraft.

Pressuruzed fuel tanks are not common on civilian aircraft. It comes from Dassault’s heritage of building military fighters before they entered the civil business jet market in the late 1960’s. Pressurized tanks are quite common on fighters.
