Hamstersss Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 This is the semi that ran into the state capitol building. I thought Deisel fuel wasn't so combustive, flammable, etc. Any idea why it would do this?

109 Gustav Posted January 17, 2001 Share Posted January 17, 2001 Diesel has a higher flash point than gas. Therefore, it requires more heat to cook it off, but it will still burn just as well once it gets going. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.
