In spite that the case is closed for...reasons, I continued my investigations and found that the most probable cause for the explosion is the mixing of the diesel with Naphtha. Naphtha is a low flash point volatile liquid they bought illegaly from syrian refineries: The 20 liters of naphta are sold for 20000 lebanese pounds while the diesel is sold at 37000 LBP...
