EARLIER- Crews are out responding to a 30-gallon diesel spill in Fisherman’s Terminal today. The state Department of Ecology, U.S. Coast Guard, Port of Seattle and a private cleanup contractor are working to take care of the spill, caused by a broken hose in the engine room on a 73-foot fishing vessel docked in the terminal. The spill is reportedly contained within the terminal, and the owner of the fishing vessel has hired Global Diving to help clean up the spill.

We will update as we get more details. Or you can follow the cleanup response on this Twitter feed.
The is quite a lot of diesel that has been spilled. I wonder if it can still be salvaged and used even when it will undergo a process of filtering and cleaning. – http://www.bestcentrifuge.com/
