There are several fuels for cars of varying combustability (if that's a word).

LPG gas is the most easily ignited out in the open.

Petrol evapourates when spread out and the vapour will easily ignite. If you put it in a container with a small surface area and throw a match in, it will probably go out. It needs to mix with air, at the righ proportions in order to combust.

Diesel is the hardest to ignite. In the open, you need a wick, which will heat it enough to light with a flame. Diesel needs to be sprayed into a mist in order for it to ignite easily. In the engine the mist is ignited by compressing air until it is hot enough.
