But enough heat will ignite diesel at atmospheric pressures.
Throw a lit match into diesel, it'll probably extinguish the match.
But throw diesel onto an already hot fire - that's a different matter....Comment

The photo-card driving licence needs to be renewed every 10 years.

Maybe all new electric cars will actually be like dodgems with a big **** off grid over the world:
I'm pretty sure no-one has really worked this one out properly. How many power stations need to be built and what type of fuel and how much is needed and so on.

Can't see how this can ever work unless there's some amazing new advancement in batteries. Takes about a minute to fill a tank, at least half an hour to charge an electric car to 80% capacity with a fast charger, 6+ hours on a home charger. There's often 3 or more cars to a household. How can they possibly charge all the cars that are parked on the streets?bloggoth
