Diesel can even exstinguish flame in some cases. It is a much different anamal than aircraft fuel.
There is no single thing as "aircraft fuel". Commercial jet aircraft are usually fueled with Jet A1 which has a flashpoint of 38´C (100´F). So it does not take that much to get it going. For less flammable alternative, use JP5, which has a flashpoint of 60´C and is generally used on shipboard military operations. If you´d like extra margin on your diesel safety, order JP5 instead of the usual junk. Pete
There are concerns yes but not a good compairison.
