Yes, Diesel is more benign that gasoline/petrol or LPG/natural gas.
(It's not clear which you mean given international variations
in English..)

Its flashpoint is ~110F. Gasoline's about -34F. 

But note Diesel is the close brother to another substance...

Jet fuel is literally #1 Diesel /aka kerosene. So once it's lit,
the flashpoint is equally moot.
