Are these the kind of flames you are talking about?

Diesel fuel would not ignite but you could pump it in under high pressure and have it atomized from a nozzle and ignited by an electrode. This is simple and the same principle as an oil burner like the ones used in your furnace or in boilers
My diesel powered steam cleaner puts out a good flame.

Ok but does there need to be a nozzle on the end of the pipe and I want to either have it on or be able to do short bursts how do I control the propane via a switch
