I have a question: Is heavy diesel oil a boil-over oil?

Is heavy diesel oil a boil-over oil? I hope you can tell me about it. It would be better if you have information to prove it. Thank you.
During the combustion process of liquid, due to the continuous heat transfer into the liquid layer, heavy oil and crude oil containing water, high viscosity, and boiling point above 100°C will boil over and splash, causing a large area fire. This phenomenon is called bumping phenomenon. Oils that can cause sudden boiling are called boil-over oils. Crude oil, residual oil, heavy oil, etc. with a moisture content of 0.3% to 4.0% are considered boil-over oils. Whether heavy diesel oil is a boil-over oil depends on its moisture content.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isn't heavy diesel a mixture? Can the boiling point be determined?
The boiling point of heavy diesel is generally above 100°C, but the water content should be less than 0.3%
I learned about storage and transportation in school. Oil products are generally flammable, explosive, easy to flow, easy to boil over, easy to be volatile, etc. Heavy diesel is no exception.
