I’m told diesel fuel is volatile and that this isn’t at all comparable to, say, a spill of crude oil.

I mean, it will burn. But good luck lighting it with a match–it won’t anymore than (say) olive oil will.

Diesel engines can actually run off of heating oil. High energy viscous fluids that don’t evaporate at room temperature.
