fuel spill
Gasoline on ground
A fuel spill is an accidental release of gasoline, oil, or other petroleum products onto land or water.
Small spills happen at gas stations and during refueling; large ones involve tanker trucks, pipelines, or ships.
Fuel spills require immediate containment and cleanup due to fire hazard and environmental damage: The highway was closed for hours after the fuel spill.
