I don't know if it burns hotter or not, I know that typical Jet Fuel autoignites at around 400 degrees and Gasoline autoignites at around 200 degrees.
I'm not giving away any clues, but you're right. Diesel and Jet Fuel is VERY hard to light manually, if not impossible. Doesn't matter if it's with a match or even a simple butane torch. Mythbusters tested it once.
