A 1,800-gallon diesel tank sank in Kansas lake amid storms, sparking an emergency response with no spill confirmed.

A diesel fuel tank containing about 1,800 gallons sank into Tuttle Creek Lake near Manhattan, Kansas, on Sunday afternoon around 1:45 p.m., likely due to high winds and waves affecting a commercial barge. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers activated an emergency response, coordinating with state and federal agencies. Containment booms were deployed, but the cove’s entrance remained partially open. No fuel spill has been confirmed, and initial assessments suggest minimal environmental impact. Recovery operations are set to begin Tuesday with a dive team. The public is advised to avoid the cove until further notice.
