Why were you trying to extinguish a fire using diesel?


I would guess they were not trying to extinguish a fire with diesel and accidentally learned you could.


Indeed. It was about 0 degree Celsius, camping and we were trying to get a bit of a fire going for heat. I won't do that with petrol as I value my eyebrows, ended up having to thin the diesel a bit with petrol as we discovered splashing diesel on a small flame on damp wood doesn't help at all.
