<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Emulsified, post: 4039413, member: 42759&quot;]In simple parlance, diesel is pumped to the engine via an electric pump and once it gets to the engine it is under very high pressure.</p><p>In a rear end collision, the fuel line is broken and this pressurized fuel in the system (before the injectors) easily sprays out onto the surfaces.</p><p>The engine is hot, there is lot&#039;s of friction and sparks in this kind of collision and the fuel catches fire.</p><p>Diesel catches fire and burns easily, especially after it&#039;s been vaporized, common when sprayed.</p><p>In many instances, the fuel line is ruptured and the pump continues to pump since it&#039;s electric and the batteries are not disturbed. (placement)</p><p>There are records where emergency responders have arrived only to find the fuel is being pumped STILL!</p><p>The pump is turned off via your ignition.</p><p>Diesel without tax is also called &#039;home heating oil&#039; for oil burning furnaces.</p><p>You will notice tankers hauling diesel have flammable placards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
