horvath, you wish to check of the ignition temp of diesel fuel, not to mention
engine oil and other things found in an engine room. then you might wish to
check the meaning of the term "ignition temperature".

Report presents the results of a study of variations in ignition lag
and combustion associated with changes in air temperature and density
for a diesel fuel in a constant-volume bomb. The test results have
been discussed in terms of engine performance wherever comparisons
could be drawn. The most important conclusions drawn from this
investigation a the ignition lag was essentially independent of the
injected fuel quantity. Extrapolation of the curves for the fuel used
shows that the lag could not be greatly decreased by exceeding the
compression-ignition engines. In order to obtain the best combustion
and thermal efficiency, it was desirable to use the longest ignition
lag consistent with a permissible rate of pressure rise.

Flash Point

The flash point temperature of diesel fuel is the minimum temperature
at which the fuel will ignite (flash) on application of an ignition
source under specified conditions. Flash point varies inversely with
the fuel’s volatility. Flash point minimum temperatures are required
for proper safety and handling of diesel fuel. Due to its higher flash
point temperature, diesel fuel is inherently safer than many other
fuels such as gasoline.

Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
