Diesel and kerosene aren't explosive except when they're vaporized and compressed inside an engine, or pump for a kerosene stove, heater, or lantern. If you dumped two tons of fuel oil on a bonfire it would be extinguished leaving a giant spot of grease.

Furthermore, one gallon of diesel weighs just about 7 pounds. 42,000 pounds. 21 tons.
