A fire can be extinguished with diesel (jet fuel is pretty much just cleaner diesel / kerosene) in cold conditions, I know because I’ve done it.
It takes a fair amount of heat / pressure to ignite jet fuel, easier if it’s vaporised.
- arrowsmith 2y agoWhy were you trying to extinguish a fire using diesel?
- johann8384 2y agoI would guess they were not trying to extinguish a fire with diesel and accidentally learned you could.

I won't do that with petrol as I value my eyebrows, ended up having to thin the diesel a bit with petrol as we discovered splashing diesel on a small flame on damp wood doesn't help at all.
