Minimum temperature at which a fuel starts to catch fire or burn out is termed as an ‘Ignition temperature’.
A fuel with lowest ignition temperature means it catches fire more quickly and is called highly inflammable.
Kerosene has lower ignition temperature when compared to diesel. This means kerosene will start to catch fire faster than diesel.

Answer: As you can see, diesel burns hotter than gasoline and hottest of the three. While gasoline barely surpasses 120,000 BTUs, diesel boasts over 137,000 BTUs per gallon! Kerosene falls a bit short of diesel, burning at almost 132,000 BTUs per gallon. Pollution. So, we know that diesel burns hottest of the three.
