A group of MP's have signed an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to raise awareness with vehicle users , manufacturers, oil companies and their retailers of the danger that spilt diesel can present to motorcycle users.

The campaign to get diesel spillage taken more seriously will culminate in the KillSpills Rally to be held on the 9th September.

In mainland Europe commercial vehicles are routinely equipped with both fire extinguishers and spill kits to allow known diesel spills to be mopped up there and then by the driver.

In the UK the uptake of vehicle mounted spill kits is less prevalent.
