Best Answer

Diesel burns when in an open container, it is not as volatile as gasoline. If you flick a match into diesel fuel, it will typically go out unless it is hot enough to vaporize due to the temperature.

In a diesel engine, the fuel explodes when it gets to the right temperature, caused by pressure.
