NEW YORK, June 4 (Reuters) - Magellan Midstream Partners LP (MMP.N) said on Wednesday it had resumed partial operations of its pipeline system serving its Kansas City terminal after a fire Tuesday night disrupted operations.

The company said the Kansas terminal also resumed operations at its truck loading facility at 3 pm Central time.

"The tank fire remains contained allowing us to safely resume operations with minimal supply disruptions," Magellan spokesman Bruce Heine said in a statement.

The fire was isolated to one tank that contained about 28,000 barrels of unleaded gasoline, Magellan said.

It said no injuries had occurred and federal, state and local authorities remained on the scene. (Reporting by Paritosh Bansal; Editing by Louise Heavens)
