To my knowledge vegetable oil needs to be at like 600F or higher before it might potentially ignite. So, I suppose it's possible on the turbo or something (Pretty sure an oil leak on the turbo/exhaust is what cause the fire on an old Impulse I had). Not sure what the temp is of diesel. A spark certainly wouldn't set either off. For that matter, I've tried to burn some spilled vegoil residue off of concrete with a propane torch and didn't have much luck.

One of the "advantages" of petroleum diesel is that it's not very flammable, so there is little worry of a fire. Are you saying that biodiesel is different?
