If you toss a lit match into a puddle of diesel fuel, it will go out. That’s because diesel is much less flammable than gasoline. In an engine, it takes intense pressure or sustained flame to ignite diesel. On the other hand, if you toss a match into a pool of gasoline, it won't even touch the surface — it ignites the vapors above the surface. Regardless, ALL fuel should be treated with respect and be stored and handled properly.
