2012...diesel leaking was looked into a few days prior by CFMEU (union). Fortunately, no one hurt...

Caused by the grubs who operated that machine, most grubs just throw all the old newspapers, oily rags and general rubbish out onto the platform behind the cab.
Doesn't take too long and it looks like a rubbish tip behind the operators cab, so anything that gets a bit heated, will soon have all the fuel to start a bloody good fire.
I used to work for a construction company and had to haul around these machines and some of these grub operators should never have been allowed near a valuable bit of equipment like these machines.
OK, there are some bloody good operators around, but the place I worked at, were miserable with the dollars, so they attracted only the monkeys.
