Diesel fuel is not considered highly explosive; it has a higher flash point than gasoline, meaning it requires a higher temperature to ignite. While it can catch fire and burn, it is unlikely to explode under normal conditions. However, if diesel is aerosolized or mixed with certain chemicals, it could pose a risk of explosion in specific scenarios. Proper handling and storage are essential to minimize any risks associated with diesel fuel.

Under the right circumstances it sure can. If you could douse the cigarette directly into the diesel it probably would not explode. The problem is the fumes. The fumes ignite first and then the diesel explodes. It is even quicker and more violent with gasoline.


Can I used unleaded fuel in a diesel van?

If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.
