Is diesel flammable

Answer 1

Actually, Diesel is not flammable, it is combustible. The difference is the flash point. Diesel does not flash until 143 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything between 100 and 200 is combustible; less than 100 is flammable. Compare it to "gasoline" which has a flash point of -42 F (I think).

Answer 2

#2 Diesel is classed as a combustible material, not a flammable. The difference is the temperature where the material gives off a vapor that can be ignited. Below 100 degrees F, flammable. Above 100 degrees, combustible. Both will burn.

Answer 3

Yes, diesel is flammable. It has a higher flash point compared to gasoline, meaning it requires higher temperatures to ignite, but it can still catch fire if exposed to a flame or spark.

Answer 4

diesel fuel is classed as combustible due to the flashpoint being 61.5* Celsius, if you heat diesel fuel to above this temp that is when it become flammable

Answer 5

Nope,

Every diesel is only flameable in a fine sprayed mist
