Diesel fuel won't explode unless you added gasoline. Can't burn any faster than it has oxygen for. I've seen them shake, rattle and smoke until the excessive oil is gone. I remember when you threw lite toilet paper inside an oil furnace to light them. You can do the same next time to burn off your excess oil. No big deal.
Did you require a change in underware?
As for electric heat. I can heat my 24x24 with a 1500 watt baseboard electric heater.
My garage has insulated doors, windows, R-20 walls and R-50 attic.
I would recommend insulating is you are going with electric. They do make 5 and 10 kw heaters you can hang from your ceiling.
I have a 10 kw heater hanging in the corner 16 ft tall garage. Heat rises, so it takes the warmest air near the ceiling and sends it back down. Very large shop. This will take the edge off the temp. I would need another 10 kw if I wanted to make it 70 degrees.
I have another 24x24 block garage, not as well insulated as the one attached to house. I have three 1500 watt IR heaters hanging from ceiling. I have them set up so when at the work bench I can focus the heat on myself. Like standing next to a fire. Love it. Only use for a short time when in garage working. IR heaters heat you more than they heat the air.
You can attach an oil line to your furncce, extension cord and fire it off outside. I've even attached an oil line to just the oil gun and fired them off outside. Lets you see if have the spark rods set right. If they are not, you can see the oil mist hit them and drip off. Can move the nozzle and get the best blow torch effect too.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
