  Does it even burn when it’s not under pressure? I know that diesel doesn’t.

    I think crude oil burns quite well

    It super does though the specific characteristics vary depending on wheee it was extracted (iirc crude from the canadian oil sands is borderline explosive)

      That’s US domestic crude which is famously volatile. I’d be curious to see what Venezeula’s oil is like. I’ve heard it’s similar to the shitty heavy crude from the Middle East, which the US has facilities to process, unlike the domestic oil they produce which has to be processed elsewhere.

    Oil has a high flash point. You can throw a lit flare in an oil drum and it will take a surprising amount of time for the oil around it to heat up enough to ignite.

    There is no one kind of oil.

    This is only if you’re talking absolute pressure.

    At one atmosphere in air, diesel will burn. It just won’t self ignite.

      What do you mean? You can throw a lighted match into a diesel tank and nothing will happen.
