They rely on the room having enough ventilation.
And sometimes, they kill people

Probably by heating the diesil to gaseous levels and then mixing it with an excess of oxygen to yield complete combustion. Alot of people do not realise carbon monoxide can be combusted to carbon dioxide, it is the incomplete combustion and can yield energy.

A lot of people die because they don't know that a flame in the presence of significant amounts of CO2 or a shortage of O2 will produce CO.

This "Alot of people do not realise carbon monoxide can be combusted to carbon dioxide, it is the incomplete combustion and can yield energy. "
makes no sense.

gaseous
What if to mix gaseous diesel with 2CO + 3H2?

You should have a good ventilation or exhaust fans
