Default OT crude oil flammable

When I took some fire safety courses, years ago. We learned
that flammable means flash point lower than 100F.
Combustible is higher than 100F.

Diesel fuel is combustible.

Crude oil IS flammable, but you have to get it going. Like
diesel. You can
toss a burning piece of paper into a tank of diesel, and it
won't light.
It's the vapors that light. Everything has a temperature of
ignition.
