by accident of course.....

of course I once splashed my bass player's arm and part of his side with gas and he went up like a torch.. the gas can nozzle was broken.. so when i went to gas up the camp fire the gas out of the crack on the bottom lit the can on fire... jerk back reflex splashed him.. lolol.. good thing we were by the river.. i didn't know he could dance.. you shoulda seen him move.. wasn't hurt... not even a burn.. but one arm was hairy and the other wasn't for a while

Hey Omnis, you need more practise being a pyro. Fires are surprisingly hard to light unless it's pine needles, eucalyptus, or the agricultural college across the road. At one of the sites Ive been working at recently we had a bottle of diesel next to the wood stove that we would light every night - it heated the water for showers and we had to cook on it. And of course the diesel was in a clear fruit juice bottle. What else woud you put it in?
One morning the guys were making bacon and ggs and went to pour some oil on the pan and just happened to pour on diesel instead. Ive never seen eggs flambe'ed before, but wow...

Yeah, I'm sorry for speaking without knowing the situation entirely. It's been somewhat easy (after lots of practice) to get a fire started when I've tried to over in arkansas and stuff. Boyscouts was good for something. It takes FOREVER to get a good one going, though.

Alison, You would think that the place you're working at would have a proper container for diesel. Here in the U.S., diesel is supposed to be stored in yellow containers, blue for kerosene, and red for gasoline.

Plus, diesel has that very recognizable aroma (one that reminds me of being out on the ocean and getting quite seasick), so whoever was cooking the eggs was an idiot for not recognizing that fact. (I hope it wasn't YOU cooking the eggs!)
