(KSL News) -- An oil leak turned into a Hazmat situation at Primary Children's Medical Center Saturday night.

A storage tank apparently became too full, and about 20 gallons of diesel fuel leaked out. Some of the fumes went into the hospital air in-take. The fumes could be smelled throughout the hospital.

Three or four employees complained of headaches. Some were treated in the ER. Two employees went home but they are fine.

No patients were affected.
