Kerosene isn't a ton more volatile than diesel but I'll agree with you that it
is more volatile. I've tried to burn diesel in a lantern before, it'll work but
it needs a ton of preheat, like 2-3x as much as kerosene does. Kero requires
about 5x more preheat than gasoline/white gas.
I've cleaned up kero spills on the gas grill with the torch before, it just
evaporates...

of a tin can with 1/2" of Diesel fuel. Throw a lit wooden match in the
fuel. Tell us what happens.
