the ignition, firing or start of burn call it what you like of a diesel is
at the moment of injection of fuel into compressed heated air.

excluding of course model plane/boat CI engines that use "glow fuel" which
is not a heavy Diesel oil at all.

Glow engines are methanol engines that ignite via catalytic reaction with a platinum glow plug.

They are NOT model diesel engines which are compression ignition 2-strokes running off paraffin and ether.
