October 1St <br /> FUEL OIL NO. 2 <br /> Combustible Liquid <br /> GENERAL INFORMATION <br /> Fuel oil no 2 is a light brown liquid commonly used as a general purpose domestic or commercial fuel,particularly for <br /> home heating, and having an odor like kerosene.It is essentially insoluble in water and lighter,so may be expected to fora <br /> a floating oil slick Its minimum flash point of about 126T indicates that some degree of preheating is necessary before the <br /> product can be ignited easily Acciimulations of vapor from heated liquid in confined spaces may result in explosions if <br /> ignited There is a limited potential for containers of liquid to rupture violently if exposed to fire or excessive heat for <br /> sufficient time duration. The product weighs approximately 7.3 pounds per gallon„ <br /> Fuel oil no 2 does not react with water or many other common materials and is stable in normal transportation. It is a <br /> relatively noncorrosive substance and is primarily incompatible with strong oxidizing materials that may cause its ignition <br /> Toxicity via potential routes of exposure is low to moderate.Products of combustion may include toric constituents <br /> CHErMCAL/PHYSICAL DATA <br /> Solubility in Water.Essentially uisoluble Vapor Premum 2.6 mm Hg(0.050 Asia)at 122-F(50'C <br /> Solubility in Other Chemicals:Soluble in other Flash Point 126-204-F (52-96-C),closed cup <br /> hydrocarbons Autai nidon Teniperaturw-494-F(257'C) <br /> Specific Gravity(Liquid*0 88 at 68-F(2('C) Burnior Rate:4 mm/mmute <br /> Boiling Point:540-64"(282-338'C)at 1 atm.
