A small fire extinguisher. Having seen what a dry chemical extinguisher did to a friend's sailboat (alcohol stove fire -- what a mess, white powder everywhere), I prefer Halon or CO2 extinguishers but anything is better than nothing. Fire in a diesel is, I suppose, less of a risk than in a gasser, but you could always put out someone else's fire.
