Yeah, depending on the pressure inside and on the temperature change

This guy is right, if you put gasoline in them they can explode with even more force.

The mix would be too rich to explode. HOWEVER if you mix diesel and gas in a 1:1 ratio you can create an explosive vapor inside the tank

Combustion temperature is at least 2000 degrees F so probably no.

Of course, temperature is statistical so you could have a random temperature fluctuation setting off a chain reaction. You may have to wait until the end of the universe for this to happen though.

I guess this is a long way to say, ain't gonna happen kid.

That depends, is 120F more or less than 2000F?

No, not without an external ignition source like static.
Auto ignition temp: 246 - 280 F
