What is it about oils, that fuel can be made from them?

What is it about oils, palm oil, soy oil, Saudi oil (that makes regular diesel fuel), vegetable oil, coconut oil, etc., that fuel can be made out of them?

In a diesel engine, they get compressed and sort of eventually explode. Oils like that must have some special properties of some kind.
