The major Danger is a leak messing up wherever you store it.
Gasoine. If you were to pour a gallon in a "Flash Pan" and toss a match into it Well I seriously do not recommend you do that cause it's going to go WHOMP and flame on
Diesel. You might as well toss -that match into water

yup.
The general classification is flamable or combustible. Gas is a class 3 flamable liquid flashpoint is -45F
Diesel is NOT classified as a flamable liquid, but it is a combustible liquid. classification is class II combustible. flashpoint is >125F
flashpoint it the temperature where vapors will ignite in presence of open flame.
Chance of diesel igniting from an open flame or spark even inside a hot vehicle is pretty slim or nonexistent.
Where as gasoline vapors will ignite in almost any condition you will encounter.
I carry 10-15 extra gallons of diesel in my pickup bed in 5 gallon containers.
