At around 9:30am, as 5000 litres of diesel fuel are being transferred at a petrol station adjacent to a supermarket and near residences, a leak occurs in the sight glass at one of the tank truck outlets. When the driver sees the product leaking onto the ground, he actuates the outlet gate which stops the leak. Fifty litres of diesel fuel spread over the concrete transfer area, some of the product flows into the storm water manhole and then into the mud and oil separator. The emergency responders place absorbent materials on the product and an external company comes in the afternoon to empty the contents of the mud separator and dispose of the waste. No impact on the environment is mentioned.
