We keep seeing flash point Minimum that needs to be maintained for Kerosene and Diesel products is at 35 degC.

what will be the issue if the flash point of the products is less than minimum value specified?


what will be the issue if the flash point of the products is much higher than minimum value specified?

For safety reasons kerosene and diesel products have a flash point specification.

 

The flash point is the temperature at which a hydrocarbon liquid has a vapor pressure that reaches the Lower Flammability Limit LFL (aka Lower Explosion Limit, LEL) and therefor could be ignited.
