== Fuels == The flash point is a descriptive characteristic that is used to distinguish between [[Flammability|flammable]] fuels, such as petrol (also known as [[gasoline]]), and [[Combustion|combustible]] fuels, such as [[diesel fuel|diesel]]. It is also used to characterize the [[Fire safety|fire hazards]] of fuels. Fuels which have a flash point less than {{convert|37.8|C}} are called flammable, whereas fuels having a flash point above that temperature are called combustible.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Use and Storage of Flammable & Combustible Liquids {{!}} Environmental Health and Safety {{!}} Iowa State University|url=https://blink.ucsd.edu/safety/research-lab/chemical/liquids/index.html|access-date=2021-11-10|website=www.ehs.iastate.edu}}</ref>
