You’re aware that diesel is quite hard to catch on fire

That's why he said gasoline tho

But that’s not relevant for busses

No it's not. It's harder to catch fire than gasoline.

It still catches fire easily.

You can toss a lit match into a puddle of diesel and the match will go out. Diesel burns, but since it doesn't evaporate as fast as gasoline, you don't have those flammable gases hanging in the air. A trail of diesel that's being burned at one end will not spread, unlike gasoline.
