A jet fuel spill occurred at Oakland Airport, involving 200 to 250 gallons from a UPS plane during engine maintenance. The spill happened around 10 am and some fuel entered a storm drain leading to San Francisco Bay. Airport officials stated that the leak was contained and measures were taken to prevent any fuel from reaching the Bay. Environmental regulators may monitor the situation, but no investigation has been announced.
