May 10 (Reuters) - Two pipelines carrying diesel fuel inIndianapolis, Indiana, have been shut since early Thursdaymorning after about 9,800 gallons of fuel leaked from an 8-inchpipe owned by Marathon Petroleum Corp, the companies andthe local fire department said on Friday.
BP Plc, which owns the other pipeline, shut itspipeline while the companies and the local fire company werelooking for the source of the leak.
Gerald George, Deputy Chief of the Pike Township FireDepartment said on Friday morning that Marathon has pulled outabout 9,800 gallons so far. George said both the BP and theMarathon Oil pipelines were still shut.
He said there were no injuries and no evacuations. He said56th Street in Indianapolis was still closed in the area of theleak but businesses in the area were not affected.
George said at the time the leak was reported Marathon wasnot moving any diesel through the pipeline, but BP was movingproduct.
The two pipelines are about 10 feet apart and both are underground.
The BP pipeline appears to be one that runs from thecompany's 410,000 barrel per day (bpd) Whiting refinery nearChicago to Indianapolis, according to a U.S. government map ofhazardous liquid pipelines. The size and capacity of thepipeline could not immediately be determined.
BP's Amoco Oil unit operates 151 miles of 8-inch pipelineand 90 miles of 12-inch pipelines in Indiana, according to U.S.Department of Transport data.
Marathon spokesman Shane Pochard said in an email itspipeline runs from its refinery in Robinson, Illinois, to astorage facility in Lima, Ohio.
The Marathon pipeline has been down since March as it wasnot needed for supply purposes. The company estimated that about500 barrels (there are 42 U.S. gallons per barrel) werereleased.
