A low flash point in diesel is caused by contamination of the diesel with lighter petroleum products such as kerosene or gasoline. Drawing more lighter products out of the fractionation tower could reduce contamination of the heavier products. Improving fractionation and improving diesel product stripping performance will raise the flash point.
Removing lighter components (such as naphtha/gasoline) will increase the flash point of diesel.
apparently cooking oil with diesel
Is a combination of oil product such as diesel and petrol
Diesel is made by refining crude oil. It's a non-renewable, fossil fuel.
Light Diesel Oil is used initially to ignite the coal in the boilers
Petrol is made out of crude oil which is a natural resource. When the crude oil is refined, petrol is produced in addition to other by-products like diesel.
Oil, it has a lower flash point and is less volatile.
There are different grades of diesel fuel and heating oil but in general they have similar qualities including the flash point. The flash point is the temperature at which the fuel ignites on its own, without a spark. Diesel fuel used to only be available along truck routes. Before diesel fuel became easily available everywhere, people with diesel engine cars would use heating fuel, but would have to make sure it is clean, passing it through a filter to remove foreign particles.
Diesel fuel is the kind of fuel used by diesel engines. Its a combustible fuel refined from crude oil - just as is gasoline - but diesel has a much higher flash point than gasoline. Its grade is measured in cetane rather than octane

A liquid petroleum product having a flash point above 37.8°C, used for heating in furnaces and engines. Normally kerosene and diesel, not gasoline.
Smoke point: reaching this temperature the oil support a thermal dissociation (and degradation) process: formation of glycerol and fatty acids, acrolein, etc. A great smoke point is a quality for an edible oil. Flash point: temperature of combustion; the flash point is of course greater than the smoke point.
The flash point can be used to determine the transportation and storage temperature requirements for lubricants.
The flash point of an oil is the temperature at which it gives off enough vapor to ignite briefly but not sustain combustion. The fire point is the temperature at which the oil gives off enough vapor to support continuous combustion. Both points are important for assessing the fire safety of oils.
Ethanol: Flash point is 13 °CPropanol: Flash point is 22 °CHexanol: Flash point is 59 °CVegetable oil: Flash point is 327 °C
55c
This is because the oil has flash over point at 140 deg.Cl and the winding insulation cannot exceed the flash point of the oil.
because vehicle has oil
