in Welsh this translation reads “I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated”

Also be sure to label it.

"It's diesel fuel"

Can a cigarette even light diesel? Doesn't it have a quite high flaming point?

If you saw someone smoking next to a diesel tanker, would you go hang out with them?

A lighter could ignite the fumes. Generally speaking a cigarette isn't likely to cause a fire unless it's thrown into some dry grass/leaves and left for some period of time.
