I literally start hundreds of camp fires and fires in my stove every year with either straight diesel fuel (or a mix of diesel fuel and motor oil) and a Bic lighter every year. I've never had an issue, even with wood that's been sitting out in the rain for extended periods of time (days or weeks)
My god why are people so dumb, outside even a small wind would blow out the matches and would never have a chance to ignite a diesel fuel. No flammable substances nearby, very good conditions for conducting this test, after all you open the window and that's it.
You did this experiment in your kitchen?! Does your wife know? Seriously, diesel is very safe, far safer than gas, you can drop a lit match into a mucket of diesel and the match will go out, don't try that with gas, however this is a little misleading, you can soak paper or wood with diesel, and light it and it will burn very easily. I use this for starting fires in my fire pit regularly. So diesel on its own won't ignite, but it will burn when held in suspension by an absorbent material sort of like the wood match stick.
Beg to differ, but it depends on your definition of "very". With a comparatively high flash point of about 125F, it's much safer than gasoline, whose flash point is -45F, further evidenced by the fact that there are no CFR guidelines/laws related to fuel, Ignition protection, electricity or ventilation for diesel powered recreationally vessels under 65 feet, because unlike gasoline vessels they do not blow up if there is a fuel leak and an ignition source.

Same thing can happen with gasoline. It is called knocking when that happens inside an engine. Diesel just needs a much higher pressure for it. Making it much more controllable and therefor much more suitable for compression ignition engines.
@@MegaBanne Same thing can happen with air too. I have a little compression contraption for starting fires. Just compresses air and if you put a little wad of wood shavings or cotton in the thing you have made fire.

So i was striking my torch lighter at another worker diesling up a buggy about 10 feet away, laughing teasing the danger and now im all second guessing the act and just had to reassure myself even though Ive been around diesel and different fuels n gases my whole life
Until a leaking injector or something on the high pressure side of the pump sprays diesel mist into a hot engine bay... Guess what. It's now at or above its flashpoint or autoignition temperature. Then a fuel fire at a fuel station. Just shut it off. Idling a diesel isn't good for them anyway
I never shut mine off at the pump, no starter, must roll start it, which luckily is very easy, but gas stations are pretty flat, its kind of unpractical to have to push it, get in and start all by yourself, even if there is a risk in not shutting it off i would argue its more dangerous for me to push my car into motion with noone driving
On older tractors what you would do is soak a corn stalk in diesel from the tractor you were starting and light it and since the diesel didn’t just burst into flames it burned hot enough to heat up the intake to start the tractor
Google says a match tip is 600-800c, that still seems high, perhaps the nano second the red tip, phosporus magnesium or? goes off, but steady constant heat ??? i dunno, gr8 demo either way, diesel is pretty safe overall, WVO bio diesel is my fav... smells like BBQ!
I only use diesel to start fires. It burns mellow and slow and steady and works every time. Sometimes it's a pain to get started, but once it catches you get get drift wood that's been sitting on a gravel bar getting rained on for weeks to burn into a reasonable camp fire for cooking and drying off.
Bei mehr Diesel, tieferes Gefäß, könnte man das Streichholz sogar darin löschen. With more diesel, a deeper container, you could even extinguish the match in it.
Hasn't the video confused "Fire Point" and "Flash Point"? If memory serves, Fire Point is the temperature is high enough for sufficient vapour that the fire will keep burning and flash point is where there will be enough vapour for ignition, but not enough to sustain a fire. "Auto ignition point" is the temperature where it will spontaneously ignite.
I can imagine situations where that "delay in ignition" can cause an equal amount of problems. So I disagree with the statement "one is Less dangerous than the other" or "one is More dangerous than the other"
Even international transport describes diesel as not that dangerous, meanwhile gasoline is. Just check the difference between UN1202 and UN1203, 02 diesel-03 gasoline.

@@lgg2304 That is like saying that paraffin is as dangerous as gasoline. Since there is danger in the delayed ignition. Diesel does not just have a delay in lighting it on fire.

The same is true of petrol. It's the vapour that burns - not the liquid.

Can’t think of a better place to do a flammability test. Inside your house is so much better than say maybe outdoors in the backyard.
