The spark suddenly ignited in flames.
USS Maine explosion
A petrol engine is ignited by a spark plug, and a diesel engine is ignited by the heat produced from the air/ fuel mixture being compressed in the cylinder

In sufficient quantities, yes. It is highly inflammable.
NO, fuel is ignited by compression.
The sinking of USS Maine
Because the fuel is ignited by compression, not spark. A totally different principle.
The assassination of Archduke Ferdinad of Austria-Hungary was the spark that ignited World War 1.
You bet. A bad coil and you have no spark to the plugs. No spark and the fuel cannot be ignited.
a petrol engine uses petrol which is highly combustable, so it can be ignited by a spark. that is why petrol engines have spark plugs. diesel is an oil based fuel, and takes higher temperatures to ignite, it cannot be as easily ignited by a spark and sometimes cant at all, so diesel engines have no spark plugs and the fuel is ignited under extreme heat due to pressure.
It was the spark that ignited the war. But it rolled into a world war for other reasons.
