Diesel fuel itself will burn but you really can't call it flammable. When you add gasoline to it, the flammability greatly increases with the amount of gasoline you add.

What fuel is mixed for a drip torch?

A drip torch typically uses a mixture of gasoline and a flammable, less volatile liquid, such as diesel fuel. The common ratio is often around 50% gasoline and 50% diesel, which helps ensure a steady drip and an even burn. This combination provides a reliable ignition source while minimizing the risk of excessive flare-ups.


Is diesel flammable?

Actually, Diesel is not flammable, it is combustible. The difference is the flash point. Diesel does not flash until 143 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything between 100 and 200 is combustible; less than 100 is flammable. Compare it to "gasoline" which has a flash point of -42 F (I think).
