* ManipulativeBastard: Renowned for this, most infamously in his debut, he tells jokes about the big engines to the trucks, and tells them that Duck shared them with him. Once the trucks starts laughing at the other engines, they're convinced Duck had been spreading nasty jokes about them. Despite being found out and punished, he still somehow manages to smooth talk engines into trusting him (eg. convincing a lonely Percy into helping the Dieselworks in "Day Of The Diesels", or sweet talking Mavis into doing odd jobs in "Thomas The Quarry Engine").

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: In a few cases, including his first appearance, Diesel will make a halfway attempt to be friendly and helpful, but either his bad reputation or oily manner of doing so will lead him to get brushed off, and him to usually revert back to his old nasty habits in retaliation. As he sulks in "Springtime For Diesel" he doesn't feel the need to be nice when he doesn't feel anyone is nice to ''him''.

* DisproportionateRetribution: When not picking on engines [[ItAmusedMe for mean laughs]], he's often committing this. As he lampshades in "Springtime For Diesel" the steam engines aren't particularly nice to him either, but what meanness they can give he can surpass ten fold. The most iconic being in his first appearance where, after Duck let him humiliate himself for being a pompous kiss-ass, Diesel spread MaliciousSlander to try and get him booted off the railway.
