Natural gas does not have many carbon atoms in its chain, so there is more than enough oxygen in the surrounding air to burn it. When compared to a long chain hydrocarbon like diesel, which will never burn completely with the normal amounts of oxygen in the air mixture surrounding it, natural gas can be identified as easily flammable as it does not give out a lot of smoke due to incomplete combustion.
