Diesel fuel itself will burn but you really can't call it flammable. When you add gasoline to it, the flammability greatly increases with the amount of gasoline you add.

Actually, Diesel is not flammable, it is combustible. The difference is the flash point. Diesel does not flash until 143 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything between 100 and 200 is combustible; less than 100 is flammable. Compare it to "gasoline" which has a flash point of -42 F (I think).

Why do the flamable gases in your atmosphere not ignite for example when a nuclear weapon is tested?

Oxygen is required for fire, but it is not itself "flammable". The elements of hydrogen and helium, while flammable, are present in such minute quantities that they are to diffuse in our atmosphere to ignite. Imagine put a thimble of gasoline some how absorbed in a gallon of water. Gasoline is flammable, but mixed in the water is not going to light.
