but there would be absolutly no need to use that amount of diesel to light a pile of wood, and realisticaly by the time you would need to put it put the fuel would have burnt off although Ive done a training exercize once where we put out huge tanks of diesel with nothing but water (god it was fun, guess you had to be there) I sugested the hose so any spots or spreading can be addressed quickly before they get a chance to take hold and casue problems

i take my hat off to the RFS, its a tough job, the radiant heat that comes off my little fire is amazing, i couldn,t get within a couple of metres to it. our worst fires were in 2000 december and 7 houses got burnt down, we had the fire front coming though to our places, it is a real community, when many locals get to gether and organise a fire plan, as this is what happened in 2000. people had wet material around they faces, cause the smoke, wet heshan sacks, spot sprayers, large containers of water handy. the rfs were i the thick of it, trying to save houses so we were looking out for ourselfs. on the first night i was asked to evacuate, two times they came down my drive way and said so. i wouldn,t go. the secound night , many locals turned up for a unnighted stand. well the wind stopped at about 11pm and the fires burnt out and the rfs put them out too. In that weekend, there were many fires around Sydney, north richmond (my sisters place) Silverdale got hit bad. And Thirlmere forest, behind me burnt, out to name a few. I will never forget.

Sump oil is awesome, takes some getting going but once going it works wonder. Sump oil in the big areas to make it get good base, then a few litres of diesel spread liberally around with a bit of paper or the like in one spot to help get the diesel ignited, then stand back and wait for the sump oil to get going.
