diesel spills

Anyone who's on The Facebooks might like to know there's a Diesel Spills Kill group on there you might want to join. They only have 350ish members so it'd be good for them to get more on.

Well it's not necessarily diesel you're seeing.

Petrol, and other chemicals can also produce that rainbow effect that you see on wet roads.

its the diesel rainbows

that kill. Going into loughborough one day i felt the rear end of my bmw step out it was like i was on glass and a couple of hundred yards down the road there was a bmw in the ditch (rear wheel drive / diesel not a good combination) i called the fire brigade cus it was a massive diesel spill on a bad bend and it was spitting and you know what they say about water and oil,i spent the next hour waiting for sed brigade flagging cars down to warn them but they never turned up and i left...buggers.

I once followed a massive trail of diesel for a good mile or so until a set of lights, where the offending vehicle had left a puddle of it.

I reported it to the council, and 6 hours later, on my way home along the same route, found that nothing had been done.
