It's normally the brake fluid that catches fire in a crash regardless of fuel, the only difference the fuel makes is how the fire progresses.

Brake fluid is not so flammble like the gasoline. The fumes of the leaking gasoline are the most dangerous. Also some types of Freon are highly flammble, but regardless all this the diesel car is the safest when we speak about risk of fire

The brake fluid in the brake lines tends to leak after a car hits something whilst braking hard and the brakes provide the heat source to light the fluid. Most fires in crashes are started by brake fluid.

All cars have brake fluid, so still the diesel ones are the safest.

You mean steam-powered ones.
