        Gas is a type of fuel…

        And squares are a type of rectangle, but rectangles aren’t all squares.

        Diesel fuel isn’t gasoline. They have different properties and Diesel isn’t nearly as flammable.

          Just because it’s not nearly as flammable doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have the exam inherent risks especially when you end up having it come out under high pressure it’s going to try an atomize into a fine spray it most certainly can be a fire risk.

            Yes. There are huge risks. I have seen several diesel powered class 8 trucks burn and catch fire due to fuel leaks. It’s not very common at all, but it does happen. Ford is not fixing the issue when they could. The fuel system probably needs to be re engineered, but high pressure is not the issue

        But diesel isn’t a type of gas, so you can be a bit ambiguous calling gas “fuel”, you can’t call diesel “gas”.
