True, provided that the extinguisher is the proper type. An ABC dry chemical extinguisher would be the best extinguisher to use.
The best tool to extinguish a small gasoline or diesel fire is a portable fire extinguisher.If the fire is small and you have a portable extinguisher, you should attempt to extinguish the fire.If you cannot extinguish the fire and it continues to get larger, get away from the vehicle. There may be toxic fumes and the possibility of an explosion.Never apply water to a gasoline or diesel fire.

Same tool for all fires, fire extinguisher, CO2 would be ideal, H20 would be a BIG MISTAKE
Unlike gasses, Diesel and gasoline are liquid and quite visible, they also have distincive smells. Most mechanics have no problem in detecting leaks, as they usually leave puddles under the vehicle, or in the engine bay. For this reason it is unlikely that anyone would make a portable device for their detection.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
beware you need to get one that is designed for that type of fire using the wrong type could make things a lot worse
Advantage of smaw :*equipment is relatively inexpensive Equipment is portable because the welding machine can be powered with gasoline or diesel powered w/ engines.
NO, do not use diesel oil and a gasoline engine.
The B determines the type of fire that can be extinguished, and in this case it would be flammable liquids such as gasoline, grease, oil, diesel fuel, and kerosene. The number indicates the approximate number of square feet the unit can extinguish, so a B-1 would be a relatively small extinguisher.
Both are petroleum products but gasoline is refined further than diesel is.

A nice working fire extinguisher. Ussually they are red and hanging some where in the house. The ABC rated or the CO2 fire extinguisher works. DO NOT USE WATER!!
