HE55 <br /> MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> Diesel Fuel All Types) MSDS No. 9909 <br /> Electricity in Petroleum Fuel Systems"address special precautions and design requirements involving <br /> loading rates, grounding, bonding,filter installation, conductivity additives and especially the hazards <br /> associated with "switch loading." ["Switch Loading" is when a higher flash point product(such as diesel) <br /> is loaded into tanks previously containing a low flash point product(such as gasoline)and the electrical <br /> charge generated during loading of the diesel results in a static ignition of the vapor from the previous <br /> cargo(gasoline).] <br /> Note: When conductivity additives are used or are necessary the product should achieve 25 <br /> picosiemens/meter or greater at the handling temperature. <br /> STORAGE PRECAUTIONS <br /> Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved vented <br /> containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty product containers or vessels may contain <br /> explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat,weld or expose such containers to sources of ignition. <br /> Store in a well-ventilated area. This storage area should comply with NFPA 30"Flammable and <br /> Combustible Liquid Code". Avoid storage near incompatible materials. The cleaning of tanks previously <br /> containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice(RP)2013"Cleaning Mobile Tanks In <br /> Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service"and API RP 2015"Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks". <br /> WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES <br /> Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a <br /> potential splash exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin <br /> exposure. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Do not use as a <br /> cleaning solvent on the skin. Do not use solvents or harsh abrasive skin cleaners for washing this product <br /> from exposed skin areas. Waterless hand cleaners are effective. Promptly remove contaminated <br /> clothing and launder before reuse. Use care when laundering to prevent the formation of flammable <br /> vapors which could ignite via washer or dryer. Consider the need to discard contaminated leather shoes <br /> and gloves. <br /> 8.

Chemical protective clothing such as <br /> of E.I. DuPont TyChem®, Saranex®or equivalent recommended based on degree of exposure. Note: <br /> The resistance of specific material may vary from product to product as well as with degree of exposure. <br /> Consult manufacturer specifications for further information. <br /> Revision Date: 10/18/2006 Page 4 of 7 <br />
