That is appalling. Well done you for reporting it. Wonder if the council did anything.

Lesson to those who drive diesel cars - don't overfill the tank.

Think you'll find the culprit of major diesel spillages are lorry drivers. They overfill their tanks on long trips to avoid having to stop on the way for a fill up.

You should always keep your nose sniffing out for diesel, you should be able to smell fresh spillages a mile off!

Are these lorry drivers who spill diesel all over the roads related to those lorry drivers who complain about the price of fuel?

I saw a sticker on the back of a bike once that said, "If diesel's so expensive then don't spill it on the road"

one or two lorries might spill diesel, but remeber, a sealing cap is an mot requirment, so most lorries are spot on..

it could have been a car, or a motorbike carrying an open thing of diesel...

u never know...
