Lt. Josh Nelson said the spill had almost completely dissipated or been recovered by sundown, but Coast Guard aircraft will fly over the spill zones at sunrise Thursday to assess the situation.
The spill is likely diesel because it's light and doesn't stick to the floating pads used to clean it up. Sun, wind and waves have dissipated the sheen.
He said it was unclear how much oil spilled.
Investigators took samples from the spill and from vessels in the area to determine where the fuel originated.
