[QUOTE="Just A UPS Guy, post: 5165266, member: 73174"] Because if the tanker is full, there is minimal room for vapor, and the chances of ignition by an ignition source are reduced, but still not nullified. If it is empty, it is full of vapor and is essentially a bomb waiting for a fuse. Although diesel and gasoline are very different, diesel will still light with an appropriate ignition. Small sparks will not light liquid diesel or liquid anything for that matter, since the vapor is the only thing burning, but if it's empty there is no liquid to absorb the ignition. [/QUOTE]
