Quick work by firefighters has contained a large diesel spill on Lake Macquarie overnight.
A resident on a boat moored at Wyee Point Marine raised the alarm when he noticed a strong smell of fuel at about 7.30pm on Sunday.
Crews arrived and placed booms around a 25 litre spill with the help of an RFS fire tender boat moored at the marina.
They traced the source of the spill to a nearby vessel and plugged a leak in the boat.
Crews will return this morning to retrieve the booms once they've absorbed the fuel.
