Moderate fire hazard. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. May cause dizziness and drowsiness. May cause eye
irritation and skin irritation (rash). Long-term, repeated exposure may cause skin cancer.
If ingested, do NOT induce vomiting, as this may cause chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs).
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Eyes? Yes Ingestion? Yes
Potential Health Effects (Acute and Chronic)
No data available.
Signs and symptoms of Exposure
EYES- Contact with liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation.
SKIN- May cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated contact. Practically non-toxic of absorbed following
acute (single) exposure. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skin are
repeatedly exposed.
INGESTION- The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid
drops into the lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the
lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure and even death.

Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and central
nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe case, tremors, convulsion, loss of
consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur.
INHALATION- Excessive exposure may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract. Central
nervous system (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination,
unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death.
WARNING: The burning of any hydrocarbon as a fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result in
hazardous levels of combustion products, including carbon monoxide, and inadequate oxygen levels, which may
cause unconsciousness, suffocation, and death.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Irritation from skin exposure may aggravate existing open wounds, skin disorders, and dermatitis (rash).
OSHA Hazard Classes:
HEALTH HAZARDS: Irritant
PHYSICAL HAZARDS: Combustible Liquid
TARGET ORGANS & EFFECTS: Central Nervous System
FIRST AID MEASURES
Emergency & First Aid Procedures
EYES 鈥? In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 minutes.
Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention.
SKIN 鈥? Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless
hand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops.
INGESTION 鈥? DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical attention. If
spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Monitor for breathing
difficulties. Small amounts of material that enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the taste has dissipated.
INHALATION 鈥? Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, ensure and open airway and provide
artificial respiration. If necessary, provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek
medical attention immediately.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Classification: COMBUSTIBLE
Flash Pt: > 100.00 F (37.8 C) Method Used: TCC
Explosive Limits: LEL: .7% UEL: .5%
Autoignition Pt: 410.00 F (210.0 C)
Fire Fighting Instructions:
Small fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fire
extinguishers and other fire fighting equipment.
Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic by-products of
combustion should require NIOSH/MSHA-approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus with
full facepiece and full protective clothing.
Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire and excessive
heat with water. For massive fires, the used of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be advantageous
-2-

DIESEL FUEL TREATMENT
to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may be require withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn.
Large storage tanks typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to extinguish the fire, often
including the need for properly applied fire fighting foam.
(See Section 16 for the NFPA 704 Hazard Rating.)
Flammable Properties and Hazards
Vapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of ignition. When mixed
with air and exposed to ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces.
Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer
may cause fire or explosion hazard.
Extinguishing Media
SMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, CO2, water spray, fire fighting foam,
or Halon.
LARGE FIRES: Water spray, for or fire fighting foam. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire, but may
be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
No data available.
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to Be Taken In Case Material is Released or Spilled
ACTIVITATE FACILITY鈥? SPILL CONTINGENCY OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN.
S
Evacuate nonessential personnel and remove or secure all ignition sources. Consider wind direction; stay
upwind and uphill, if possible. Evaluate the direction of product travel, diking, sewers, etc. to confirm spill
areas. Spills may infiltrate subsurface soil and groundwater; professional assistance may be necessary to
determine the extent of subsurface impact.
Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Protect bodies of water by diking, aborbents,
or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless it is designed and permitted
to handle such material. The use of fire fighting foam may be useful in certain situations of reduced vapors. The
proper use of water spray may effectively disperse product vapors or the liquid itself, preventing contact with
ignition sources or areas/equipment that require protection.
Take up with sand or other absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste container for
reclamation or disposal 鈥? caution, flammable vapors may accumulate in closed containers. Response and clean-
up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment (see Section 8).
HANDLING & STORAGE
Hazard Label Information:
Avoid breathing harmful vapors. Wash hands before eating.
Precautions To Be Taken in Handling
Handle as a combustible liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame! Electrical equipment should be
approved for classified area. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to reduce the possibility of
static-initiated fire or explosion.
Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can
exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil) is loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point

products (such as this product) - see API Publication 2003, "Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static,
Lightning and Stray Currents".
Precautions To Be Taken in Storing
Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved vented containers. Keep
containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty product containers or vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not
pressurize, cut heat, weld or expose such containers to sources of ignition. Store in well ventilated area. This
storage should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code". Avoid storage near
incompatible materials. The cleaning of tanks previously containing this product should follow API
Recommended Practice (RP) 2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and
API RP 2015 "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks".
Other Precautions
Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a potential
splash exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin exposure. Wash
hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Do not use as a cleaning solvent on the skin. Do
not use solvents or harsh abrasive skin cleaners for washing this product from exposed skin areas. Waterless
cleaners are effective. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Use care when
laundering to prevent the formation of flammable vapors which could ignite via washer or dryer. Consider the
need to discard contaminated leather shoes and gloves.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Equipment (Specify Type)
A NIOSH/MSHA-approved air-purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges or canister may be permissible
under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are or may be expected to exceed exposure limits or
for odor or irritation. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Refer to OSHA 29 CFR
1910.134, ANSI Z88.2-1992, NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic, and the manufacturer for additional guidance
on respiratory protection selection.
Use a positive pressure, air-supplied respirator if there is a potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are
not known, in oxygen-deficient atmospheres, or any other circumstance where an air-purifying respirator may
not provide adequate protection.
Eye Protection
Safety glasses or goggles are recommended where there is a possibility of splashing or spraying.
Protective Gloves
Gloves constructed of nitrile, neoprene, or PVC are recommended.
Other Protective Clothing
Chemical protective clothing such as E.I. Dupont Tychem, Saranex, or equivalent recommended based on degree
of exposure.
NOTE: The resistance of specific material may vary from product as well as with degree of exposure. Consult
manufacturer specifications for further information.
