4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If affected, move person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If not
breathing or if no heartbeat, give artificial respiration or cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR). Immediately call a physician. If symptoms or irritation occur with
any exposure, call a physician.
Skin contact: Wash with soap and large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing. If
symptoms or irritation occur, call a physician.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and do not give liquids. Immediately call a
physician.
Eye contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms or
irritation occur, call a physician.
Medical conditions aggravated by No data available.
exposure:
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: For small fires, Class B fire extinguishing media such as
CO2, dry chemical, foam (AFFF/ATC) or water spray can be
used. For large fires, water spray, fog or foam (AFFT/ATC)
can be used. Fire fighting should be attempted only by those
who are adequately trained and equipped with proper
protective equipment.
Specific hazards: This product is not a combustible liquid per the OSHA
Hazard Communication Standard, but will ignite and burn at
temperatures exceeding the flash point. For additional fire
related information, see NFPA 30 or the North American
Emergency Response Guide 128.
MSDS ID NO.: 0282MAR019 Product name: Marathon Biodiesel B100 Page 2 of 6
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Avoid using straight water streams. Water spray and foam
(AFFF/ATC) must be applied carefully to avoid frothing and
from as far a distance as possible. Avoid excessive water
spray application. Keep surrounding area cool with water
spray from a distance and prevent further ignition of
combustible material. Keep run-off water out of sewers and
water sources.
Flash point: > 300 F (PMCC)
Autoignition temperature: No data available.

Other: - Special: *See Section 8 for guidance in selection of
personal protective equipment.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Keep public away. Isolate and evacuate area. Shut off source if safe to do so.
Advise authorities and National Response Center (800-424-8802) if substance has
entered a watercourse or sewer. Notify local health and pollution control agencies, if
appropriate. Contain liquid with sand or soil. Recover and return free product to
proper containers. Use suitable absorbent materials such as vermiculite, sand, or
clay to clean up residual liquids.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Comply with all applicable EPA, OSHA, NFPA and consistent state and local requirements. Store in properly closed
containers that are appropriately labeled and in a cool well-ventilated area.
Exercise good personal hygiene including removal of soiled clothing and prompt washing with soap and water.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Engineering measures: Local or general exhaust required when using at elevated temperatures that
generate vapors or mists.
Respiratory protection: Breathing apparatus needed only when aerosol or mist is formed. Observe respirator
protection factor criteria cited in ANSI Z88.2. Self-contained breathing apparatus
should be used for fire fighting.
Skin and body protection: Not required under normal operating conditions.
Eye protection: No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is possible, wear
safety glasses with side shields.
Hygiene measures: No special protective clothing is normally required.
