A way that works for me, because I often don't have gloves handy, is to put any kind of light NEUTRAL oil on your hands, ru it in, wipe it off on paper towels, then go over your hands with any waterless hand cleaner or any glycerin-type soap, like you use in the bath.
The neutral oil mixes with the diesel and is easy to transfer then. Then the soap gets what's left over.
I have used Pam cooking oil from a spray, Wesson oil, and baby oil, and they all worked very well.
One guy I know follows it up by washing hands in vinegar or lemon juice, then warm water. Never tried it but he swears by it and he doesn't smell like diesel fuel afterward either.
There are probably other ways, and other will provide them, hopefully.
