A gasoline or petrol spill requires quick action. That’s why at Ideal Response, we can be with you within 2 hours of receiving your call. Whether it’s the result of an RTA, a spill at petrol station, a tanker spill, a leak at a mechanic garage, or somewhere else, we can help.

We appreciate that a rapid response is required for a gasoline or petrol spill. The quicker the spill is addressed, the less impact it will have and the cheaper it will be to rectify. The longer a spill is left, the greater its impact becomes over time, especially as it starts to soak through porous materials. It becomes particularly hazardous and costly once it enters soil and water.

Using industry-leading technology, we can contain and clean-up a spill of any scale. From unmanageable spills which are retained on site, to spillages which are close to reaching potential ignition sources, through to spillages caused by criminal activity or vehicle collisions.

We are proud to be the UK providers for the Lubetech technology – a completely environmentally friendly spill-kit designed to deal with oil spills of a wide range of different natures. We will use this spill-kit to contain the spillage before completely cleaning and decontaminating the entire area. And, if required, we can also eradicate any lingering odours using state-of-the-art technology.

Not only does a gasoline or petrol spill pose both a fire and slip risk, it is also hazardous to health. It can cause health problems if it comes into contact with eyes and skin, and if the fumes are inhaled. Our technicians carry with them appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) and are fully equipped to deal with gasoline spills.

    FAQ's for Gasoline Oil Spill Cleanup
    End to end service, from containment to decontamination

    Gasoline (petrol) is considered a light oil, so its effect on the environment is different to the oil such as that used to fuel ships. If it enters the water, it tends to only last a few days as it evaporates fairly quickly. However, it still poses risks when present. Not only is it flammable, it is also toxic. It can kill animals and plantation and can have adverse health effects on any human who comes into contact with it.

It can kill animals and plantation and can have adverse health effects on any human who comes into contact with it.
    As already mentioned, a gasoline spill can damage the environment and poses a risk to both human and wildlife health. This risk only increases the longer a spill is left. If a gasoline spill goes untreated and is not confined, it risks entering the drainage system which means it can escape into controlled waters. Should this happen, it is a breach of the Water Resources Act 1991. And if the spill enters unmade ground, it can migrate to groundwater and you could then be in breach of The Groundwater Regulations 2009. Both of these leave you open to prosecution and could be very costly to rectify. An untreated gasoline spill only becomes more complex the longer it is left, which is likely to result in the overall cost of rectifying it increasing accordingly. Not only that, but if left on a surface which sees vehicular use, it poses a risk of collisions and accidents.

    Gasoline is toxic. It has the potential to kill animals and plantation and can have many adverse effects on human health too. If it comes into contact with skin or eyes, it can be incredibly irritating. If it enters the airways, it has the danger of damaging the lungs. If gasoline is inhaled in large amounts, it can cause feelings of drunkenness, asphyxiation, organ damage and in some cases, can even lead to a heart attack.
