Regular fuel, gasoline, is more flammable and is usually ignited by a spark plug. Diesel fuel is a "heavier" fraction of the crude oil and is usually compression ignited when used in a regular piston engine. This means that the engine first draws in air, then compresses this air quite a lot. During compression the air heats up to the point wherei it will ignite once ignited.
