If I have a poke underneath there's definitely small flames.
Still think it's diesel?
I'll need to put it out tonight but its right at the end of the garden, no hosepipe will reach that far.
Maybe I'll have to drag a water butt to it.Comment

Yes, still diesel, it will have soaked into the wet wood and will wick through it for many hours. The dry material should have burned quite fiercely.
It will take a LOT of water to quench it if there is still a lot of things to burn.
I've seen a diesel fire of garden waste/branches burn for 3+ days.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I mean a diesel puddle won't ignite if you simply drop a lighted match on it.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
