Fuel Pipeline Feeding Idaho Fails Test in Utah

OGDEN, Utah (AP) — A pipeline that leaked 20,000 gallons of diesel fuel near northern Utah's Willard Bay has failed a federally mandated pressure test required to make it fully operational again.

The pipeline owned by Chevron extends from Salt Lake City to Burley, Idaho. John Whitehead of the Utah Division of Water Quality told The (Ogden) Standard-Examiner the 8-inch pipeline required to hold 2,600 pounds per square inch of water for 30 minutes failed after six minutes during Monday's test.
