NEW YORK, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Valero Energy Corp (VLO.N) reported a valve leak near the fluid catalytic cracker unit at its 210,000 barrel per day Delaware City, Delaware refinery, according to a filing with state environmental regulators.
"Valve near cat cracker leaked gasoline into gravel area," said the company filing with Delaware's Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC).
It said a total of 150 gallons of the fuel had leaked.
Company officials could not be reached immediately for comment on whether the snag, which occurred on Saturday, had any impact on the gasoline-making catalytic cracker operations. (Reporting by Haitham Haddadin; Editing by John Picinich)
