I literally start hundreds of camp fires and fires in my stove every year with either straight diesel fuel (or a mix of diesel fuel and motor oil) and a Bic lighter every year. I've never had an issue, even with wood that's been sitting out in the rain for extended periods of time (days or weeks)
My god why are people so dumb, outside even a small wind would blow out the matches and would never have a chance to ignite a diesel fuel. No flammable substances nearby, very good conditions for conducting this test, after all you open the window and that's it.
You did this experiment in your kitchen?! Does your wife know? Seriously, diesel is very safe, far safer than gas, you can drop a lit match into a mucket of diesel and the match will go out, don't try that with gas, however this is a little misleading, you can soak paper or wood with diesel, and light it and it will burn very easily. I use this for starting fires in my fire pit regularly. So diesel on its own won't ignite, but it will burn when held in suspension by an absorbent material sort of like the wood match stick.
Beg to differ, but it depends on your definition of "very". With a comparatively high flash point of about 125F, it's much safer than gasoline, whose flash point is -45F, further evidenced by the fact that there are no CFR guidelines/laws related to fuel, Ignition protection, electricity or ventilation for diesel powered recreationally vessels under 65 feet, because unlike gasoline vessels they do not blow up if there is a fuel leak and an ignition source.

Same thing can happen with gasoline. It is called knocking when that happens inside an engine. Diesel just needs a much higher pressure for it. Making it much more controllable and therefor much more suitable for compression ignition engines.
@@MegaBanne Same thing can happen with air too. I have a little compression contraption for starting fires. Just compresses air and if you put a little wad of wood shavings or cotton in the thing you have made fire.

Until a leaking injector or something on the high pressure side of the pump sprays diesel mist into a hot engine bay... Guess what. It's now at or above its flashpoint or autoignition temperature. Then a fuel fire at a fuel station. Just shut it off. Idling a diesel isn't good for them anyway
I never shut mine off at the pump, no starter, must roll start it, which luckily is very easy, but gas stations are pretty flat, its kind of unpractical to have to push it, get in and start all by yourself, even if there is a risk in not shutting it off i would argue its more dangerous for me to push my car into motion with noone driving
On older tractors what you would do is soak a corn stalk in diesel from the tractor you were starting and light it and since the diesel didn’t just burst into flames it burned hot enough to heat up the intake to start the tractor
I'm not an expert but probably the gas that formes in the enclosed tank. i.e When a tank is half full the other half fills with highly flammable gas from the fuel and that's a very big problem.
@gman57op anti-mason As far as I can find out the train was hauling exclusively DIESEL Oil from the Milford Haven refinery. As Sybil said to Basil "There is no need for rudeness". the wrong side of the bed this morning was it?
It's the vapour that burns - not the liquid. Heat the diesel and the vapour boils off. If you have an accident and there is a fine spray of diesel, that creates a vapour, and that will light. Once its lit it heats the rest of the diesel up so it burns.
Flash point is the temp needed for the liquid to vaporize and hence be a source of fire. Ignition temp or auto ignition temp is the temp the substance will ignite itself.
@@deanbennett8830 Respectfully, you are wrong. Flash point is the temperature needed for a volatile substance to evaporate off enough to be a source of ignition. It is not the ignition temperature. example. The flash point for gasoline is -40F. If gasoline ignited at -40F, you would have a lot of issues trying to pump your gas while it's on fire. Most substances form what's called a vapor liquid equilibrium. Depending on temperature, pressure, other constituents in the gaseous phase, a substance will evaporate off some portion until there is equilibrium with the system. Hence why if you set a glass of water out, over a couple weeks it will slowly evaporate. It's not boiling. Boiling point is the temperature which the vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure. If there was no such thing as vapor equilibrium say with water. Well, life would cease to exist.
Bei mehr Diesel, tieferes Gefäß, könnte man das Streichholz sogar darin löschen. With more diesel, a deeper container, you could even extinguish the match in it.
The flash point of petrol, also known as gasoline, typically ranges from -45°C to -50°C (-49°F to -58°F). .....? But in your video it was written -23°C.. Can anybody please explain !
I poured petrol onto scrub, branches and weeds to get a bonfire going - the petrol formed a gas cloud that exploded when the match got near. A bit too exciting. Don't do this at home kids!
I only use diesel to start fires. It burns mellow and slow and steady and works every time. Sometimes it's a pain to get started, but once it catches you get get drift wood that's been sitting on a gravel bar getting rained on for weeks to burn into a reasonable camp fire for cooking and drying off.
Google says a match tip is 600-800c, that still seems high, perhaps the nano second the red tip, phosporus magnesium or? goes off, but steady constant heat ??? i dunno, gr8 demo either way, diesel is pretty safe overall, WVO bio diesel is my fav... smells like BBQ!
Diesel, for years, was a very dirty fuel. The exhaust stank pretty badly, polluted badly, and the cars fitted with it were slow and noisy. They improved it though, and it wasn't so long ago that there was a big push in Europe to get people into diesel cars, which were said to be better for the environment, more fuel efficient, and now just as quick as petrol-driven cars. Over half of new sales were diesel cars. It was then found that even the newer diesel cars emitted dangerous pollutants (different ones) and diesels are being phased out again.
Not when the thermal mass of the diesel mitigates the 1000C match tip. Essentially all of the heat is transferred away via conduction before the diesel reaches temp.
Thats why diesel is best advantahes over gasoline..you can store diesel in cans and go to any hillside areas ..you can stire diesel in your home nad even some diesel cars can be run on home ptoduced bio diesel.lot of torque..lot safer in case of collision accidents or even in the riots some one damages your car...you can put your car in water no worried.diesel is great choice
