Safety Data Sheet Material Name: Diesel Fuel, All Types SDS No. 9909 ____________________________________________________________ Page 4 of 10 Revision Date 8/30/12 Personal Precautions and Protective Equipment Response and clean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment (see Section 8). Environmental Precautions Protect bodies of water by diking, absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless system is designed and permitted to handle such material. The use of fire fighting foam may be useful in certain situations to reduce 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. Prevention of Secondary Hazards None * * * Section 7 - Handling and Storage * * * Handling Procedures Handle as a combustible liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame! No smoking or open flame in storage, use or handling areas. 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." Storage Procedures 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 a well-ventilated area. This storage area 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." Incompatibilities Keep away from strong oxidizers. * * * Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection * * * Component Exposure Limits Fuels, diesel, no. 2 (68476-34-6) ACGIH: 100 mg/m3 TWA (inhalable fraction and vapor, as total hydrocarbons, listed under Diesel fuel) Skin - potential significant contribution to overall exposure by the cutaneous route (listed under Diesel fuel)
