Barrier erected
Tank mixed up: oil spill in Lake Constance
On Sunday, a boat owner's refueling operation at the lakeside petrol station in Fußach (Vorarlberg) resulted in a major fire department operation. The skipper wanted to quickly clean a dirty water tank with water. However, he mistook this for the fuel tank, through the vent pipe of which fuel was leaking into the lake.
When the unlucky skipper noticed the mishap, he tried to minimize the damage together with the harbour master and alerted the emergency services.
No danger for water sports enthusiasts
As a precaution, the Fußach fire department set up an extensive oil barrier and removed the small oil slick. There was no danger to water sports enthusiasts. The water quality was also not affected.
