Fuel is flowing at less than half the usual rate near the origin of America’s largest petroleum pipeline, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
About 20,000 barrels an hour of gasoline and other refined products were flowing east on the Colonial Pipeline out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Thursday morning, according to the people who asked not to be identified because the information is commercially sensitive.
