Diesel Fuel Spill Cleanup at The Tennesseean Truck Stop | Enviro Medics Emergency Response
On November 20, 2025, Enviro Medics LLC was dispatched to a vehicle accident at The Tennesseean Truck Stop The Tennesseean Truck Stop after a damaged saddle tank caused a diesel fuel spill at the facility entrance. Approximately 30 gallons of fuel had already been released when our Emergency Spill Response Team was notified. With severe weather approaching, immediate and precise action was critical to prevent a wider environmental impact.
Minutes-Fast Response & Spill Assessment
Our team arrived within minutes, assessing:
The active diesel spill
The condition of the truck’s damaged saddle tank
The flow pattern of fuel spreading across the pavement
Risks to storm drains, parking areas, and nearby soil
Preventing fuel migration ahead of the incoming heavy rainfall was essential to protecting the truck stop, surrounding property, and stormwater systems.
Fuel Transfer Operation: 200+ Gallons Pumped Off Safely
To stop additional leakage and stabilize the scene, Enviro Medics performed a rapid fuel transfer operation, pumping over 200 gallons of diesel from the truck’s damaged tanks into secure containment.
This prevented further release and:
Stopped additional environmental impact
Eliminated the hazard of continued leaking
Allowed the truck to be towed safely for repairs without causing new damage
Our team completed the transfer with no additional harm to the vehicle or surrounding infrastructure.
Fast Spill Cleanup Before Heavy Rainfall
With the storm moving in, our technicians deployed:
High-performance absorbents
Protective containment barriers
Specialized cleanup and treatment equipment
Our goals were clear:
Eliminate slip hazards
Prevent diesel from entering stormwater systems
Stop migration into soil or parking areas
Ensure no secondary contamination occurred once the rain began
Thanks to the speed and skill of our responders, the spill area was fully stabilized and cleaned before the heavy rain arrived.
No additional spread, runoff, or environmental impact occurred—an important success considering the timing and the volume of fuel still inside the truck.
