no, it will not explode. even if a flame is present the stream of galoine will leak onto the ground igniting. the stream of gas moves to fast for the fire to move up and into the gas tank/can. However, some bullets have black powder diluted onto the projectile, and theoretically, if this happened while you shot the gasoline tank; it would explode.

Can a smoke make a diesel tank full of diesel explode?

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.

How is it dangerous to throw aerosol into a fire?

I don't know if you mean a gas such as oxygen or carbon-dioxide; or "gas", the American colloquialism for petroleum spirit. Either way the heat could easily make the containers explode very violently by increasing the internal pressure - then the further effects would depend on the flammability or otherwise of the contents.
