Have done what you need many times. In fact in the old days in the engine
room we use to keep a half filled 5 gal bucket of diesel to put our cigs out
in. You can not light of diesel fuel if you try.
Take some out back, wet a news paper and light. It takes raw flame and a bit
of it. any old pump will work fine, we always used one driven by an electric
drill.
Now you know.
