Yes, diesel fuel can be ignited, but it requires a higher temperature compared to gasoline due to its higher flash point. While it won't easily ignite from a spark or open flame, it can catch fire if exposed to a sufficiently hot surface or flame. Once ignited, diesel burns steadily and can produce a significant amount of heat and smoke. Always exercise caution when handling any flammable liquids.
