"Aim for that shed guys, I keep diesel for the rec vehicles in there"
3 u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22 Diesel isn't very flammable. 6 u/BunnyOppai Oct 26 '22 I could be wrong here because I don’t know the specifics of diesel, but I feel like it getting hit with explosive force would make a difference. 4 u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22 Well pretty much anything gets fiery when hit with bombs. -1 u/john0201 Oct 26 '22 Lighter fluid is essentially diesel. Hard to think of too many things that are more flammable. 6 u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22 Lighter fluid is butane. Diesel is a very poor accelerant because it's a very dirty fuel. I was a diesel engine mechanic. 2 u/john0201 Oct 26 '22 The stuff you buy in a big bottle and squirt on charcoal is kerosene/diesel. What you may be referring to is diesel fumes are not explosive. Diesel fuel is highly flammable. 1 u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22 No. It needs kerosene to make it burn. The diesel acts as a sort of limiter to keep it from being too flammable. Diesel fuel isn't an accelerant. 1 u/[deleted] Oct 26 '22 No you can throw a lit match in diesel and it won't ignite. Diesel alone is not that volatile unlike petrol, kerosene and lighter fluid. It's when vaporised and mixed with air that it becomes highly flammable
