Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. Its exact composition depends on the source of the crude oil from which it was produced and the refining
methods used. Gasoline contains hundreds of individual organic chemicals. This section identifies only some of the well-known chemical constituents.

Auto ignition Typically 257oC (495掳F)
Flash point Typically about -43掳C (-45掳F) (cc)
Lower flammable Upper flammable limit Typically 7.6%

Means of In general, do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or
extinction foam. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out.
Special Vapour is heavier than air. It will spread along the ground & collect in low or confined areas (sewers,
precautions basements). Also travels to source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode when heated.
Hazardous combustion Carbon monoxide. Nitrogen oxides. PAHs, phenols, and other aromatic hydrocarbons.

Skin absorption (benzene, n-hexane, toluene) Skin contact
Inhalation
Ingestion
Acute Headache, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms of central nervous system (CNS) depression.
exposure Aspiration into the lungs can cause severe pneumonitis (serious lung irritation), with coughing, gagging,
shortness of breath, chest pain, and/or pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation).
Chronic Peripheral & CNS damage, such as tremors, hallucinations, memory loss, & impaired mental capacity.
exposure Damage to liver, kidneys and blood-producing system. Prolonged skin contact may cause dermatitis.

Irritancy Sensitizatio No
Skin eyes, and respiratory tract. Very serious irritant if trapped against skin.
Toxicologically Other petroleum hydrocarbons and other chemicals that cause CNS depression or other
synergistic neurological effects can be expected to produce additive or synergistic effects.
SECTION 7 鈥? FIRST AID
Inhalation Move victim to fresh air. Give artificial respiration if breathing has stopped and if a qualified AR adm inistrator is
available. Apply CPR if both pulse and breathing have stopped. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Ingestion Never give anything by mouth if the person is unconscious, rapidly losing consciousness, or convulsing. If the
person is conscious, have them drink 8 to 10 ounces of water or milk to dilute the material in the stomach. Do
not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, have the person lean forward to avoid aspiration.
Obtain medical attention immediately.
Eye If irritation occurs, flush eye with lukewarm, gently flowing fresh water for at least 10 minutes.
Skin Quickly and gently blot away excess chemical. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin gently
and thoroughly with water and non-abrasive soap. Obtain medical assistance.
SECTION 8 鈥? PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
Personal Gloves Tychem庐BR/LV or Tychem庐TK preferred.
protective Eye Chemical safety goggles or face shield, as a good general safety practice.
equipmen Respiratory NIOSH-approved SCBA or air line respirator with escape cylinder for confined spaces. A
t qualified occupational health and safety professional should advise on respirator selection. If
an air-purifying respirator is appropriate, use a 鈥淧 series鈥? filter & organic vapour cartridges.
Clothing & Coveralls to prevent skin contact with product. If clothing or footwear becomes contaminated
footwear with product, completely decontaminate it before re-use, or discard it.
Engineering Enclose processes. Use local exhaust ventilation to remove vapour at its site of generation. Handle
controls laboratory samples in a fume hood. Use mechanical ventilation in confined spaces.
Handling Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ensure that ventilation systems are explosion-proof, non-sparking, and
procedures & grounded. Use intrinsically-safe electrical systems. Ground and bond transfer containers. Keep
equipment containers closed. Have safety shower and eyewash in the work area. Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
Leak & spill Keep unauthorized persons away. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Stop leak if it can be
Procedure done safely. Prevent entry into sewers, waterways, or confined spaces. Small spills: Contain with earth,
sand, or non-flammable absorbent material. Shovel (non-sparking tools) into clean, dry, labelled
containers and cover. Flush area with water. Large spills: Contact emergency services for advice.
Waste disposalContact appropriate governmental agencies for approved disposal of material.
Storage Cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. No ignition sources or incompatible materials.
Containers should be grounded, vented and equipped with a flame arrester. Consider leak detection and
alarm equipment for storage area. o
Shipping Load at normal temperature (up to 38 C) and pressure. Bond and ground containers for transfer.
