There was a spill on the south shore of RI a few years back, maybe someone remembers the details. What I remember was being outside and smelling the fuel, I’m guessing I live 6-8 miles away.

We went down to the beach a day or two later and the whole way there all that could be smelt was the fuel. Walked about a mile or so on the beach and all along the way there was shellfish & lobsters wash-up. This was in the winter months.

If I remember right this was a “light” fuel and was said to dissipate quickly with some windy days that we had. It still had an effect.
