State studies how to clean up 4,000-gallon fuel spill

An estimated 4,329 gallons of diesel fuel leaked out of the forward compartment of a 10,000-gallon fuel tank that overturned when the driver wrecked on Jan. 10 around milepost 164.4 of the Richardson Highway, about 20 miles south of Paxson. No fuel leaked from a 5,000-gallon secondary “pup trailer” that the double-tanker truck was also pulling.
