At what range does the flash point of diesel fuel fall?

The correct range for the flash point of diesel fuel is between 104-131 degrees Fahrenheit. The flash point refers to the lowest temperature at which a liquid can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air. Diesel fuel, being a heavier petroleum product compared to gasoline, typically has a higher flash point. This characteristic makes diesel fuel less volatile and adds a level of safety in handling and storage compared to fuels with lower flash points.

Understanding the flash point is crucial for fire safety and risk assessment, as it helps firefighters and safety personnel determine the potential fire hazards and required safety measures when working with or near diesel fuel.
