Diesel (and I assume biodiesel) are combustible.
This is a big difference on the amount and the transport and storage requirements according to Hazmat requirements.  |
Smokey beat me to it.
There is a big differance between Flammable and Combustable. The way the classification is worked out is to do with the Flash Point.
Petro Diesel is classed as Combustable. Next time you happen to see a freight train with fuel tankers look at the signs on them. If it says Flammable it's a fair bet they have or did have petrol in em. If it reads Combustable it's diesel for sure.
