Diesel needs high temps to ignite a lighter or match wont do it.

Not entirely true.
I use diesel all the time to burn brush piles because it doesn't
explode like gasoline does.
Gasoline evaporates very quickly and fills the surrounding air with fumes.
When you touch a match to the pile (or get a match close to the pile)... FOOM! a big scary mushroom cloud like explosion occurs.
Diesel fuel doesn't evaporate like gas does and burns more slowly.
Diesel ignites in an engine because of the high
pressure and temperature.
And as a result of this thread, I am going out to get some OC spray.
It seems like a good idea to have some around.
