    None of the 3 million gallons of fuel on a barge that struck the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on Thursday evening spilled into the Bay, the U.S. Coast Guard said today.
    "We know for certain all the oil remains on the barge," Capt. John Long said at an afternoon news conference on Yerba Buena Island.
    The barge, on its way from the ConocoPhillips refinery in Rodeo to Portland, Ore., was operating with one to two miles of visibility and calm seas at the time of the 6 p.m. accident, Long said.
