This is the first time I have heard that diesel is less volatile than kero / jet A?? Its probably just luck because all three have the same auto ignition flash point. I stay away from diesel because it is very oily and smells more than kero. Not easy to clean up when spilled.

Has anyone ever seen a fire from a model that crashed running on diesel?
