Petrol = fire risk, LPG = mobile bomb in the case of an accident, that's why LPG powered vehicles are not allowed in many road tunnels in Europe.:eek: Diesel = higher flash point, harder to ignite = much safer.:D

Well seeing you ask me for an expert opinion. I have noticed that petrol and gas tend to catch fire a bit easier than diesel if there is an electrical fault. Maybe that fact has slipped your attention. Also catalytic converters on petrol/gas fired engines glow red hot and are a source of ignition if oil is spilled on them. Diesels don't run hot enough to do that.

Very true my large mate but the chances of it getting to be a real bonfire are greater if it ignites petrol or gas fumes.
