SH2 diesel spill north of Melling (10 January)

[James Deuce]

Riffer just called to say it's rainbow city up that way due to a large diesel spill in the Nothbound lanes of SH2.

Take extra care if you are heading to the Duckpond for a damp ride this evening.

thanks for the heads up

Seems there's blimming diesel everywhere today! It's madness out there/

[riffer]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be on a Ginny today with those OEM tyres... :shit:

That spill was a shocker! The rider in front of me was sitting in it all the way. Couldn't believe it. Open your eyes man!

This is all too common on NZ roads. I've watched a mate go down on that stuff, had a few frights myself and heard there was guy killed (waikato) probably because of this. How is this happening..?

My brother once lost a tank of deisel from his truck on a 20 km stretch of road when his fuel filter split. One possibility

It is because of ignorant truck/bus drivers over filling their vehicles & dont give a f$#k about the rest of the road users
