Well, yes, and so does your Diesel engine - that's what the injectors are
for - to atomize/vaporize the fuel. Liquid Diesel fuel (and gasoline for
that matter) doesn't burn.

Most hardware stores seem to have it.
It's a glue, like all glues clean and dry is vital. Don't
over-apply, it'll ooze out. You might need to put weight
on it (sack of beans?) to make sure it's clamped a bit.
