Flammability of certain substances, I.e, how gasoline seems to explode, but diesel fuel will just slow burn.

Like title says, what properties of these make them so different in flammability? Just watched a video where a little gas added to fire quickly makes it seem to explode, but something like diesel just burns. I also think of the explosion in Lebanon, it was burning and then suddenly it was like a mega bomb went off.

Gasoline is more refined fuel. Made to be highly flamable.
Diesel less refined and thicker and burns slowly.
