DIESEL FUEL NO. 2 Page 4 of 8 <br /> 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES <br /> • FLANKABLE PROPERTIES <br /> FLASH POINT: (P-M) 125F (52C) Min. <br /> AUTOIGNITION: NDA <br /> FLAMMABILITY LIMITS (% by volume in air) : Lower: 0.6 Upper: 4.7 <br /> EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: <br /> CO2, Dry Chemical, Foam and Water Fog. <br /> NFPA RATINGS: Health 0; Flammability 2; Reactivity 0. <br /> FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: <br /> Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn <br /> with explosive violence. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on <br /> fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and <br /> electrical motors and switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid <br /> temperature rises above 85 F. <br /> For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined <br /> fire space without proper protective equipment. This may include <br /> self-contained breathing apparatus to protect against the hazardous <br /> effects of normal products of combustion or oxygen deficiency. Read the <br /> entire document. <br /> COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: <br /> Normal combustion forms carbon dioxide and water vapor; incomplete <br /> combustion can produce carbon monoxide. <br /> 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br /> CHENTREC EMERGENCY NUMBER (24 hr) : (800)424-9300 or (202)483-7616 <br /> ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: <br /> Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spill or released vapor. <br /> Clean up small spills using appropriate techniques such as sorbent <br /> materials or pumping. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated <br /> soil. Follow prescribed procedures for reporting and responding to larger <br /> releases. This material is considered to be a water pollutant and <br /> releases of this product should be prevented from contaminating soil and <br /> water and from entering drainage and sewer systems. <br /> U.S.A. regulations require reporting spills of this material that could <br /> reach any surface waters. The toll free number for the U.S. Coast Guard <br /> National Response Center is (800) 424-8802. <br /> 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE <br /> HANDLING AND STORAGE: <br /> DO NOT USE OR STORE near flame, sparks or hot surfaces. USE ONLY IN WELL <br /> VENTILATED AREA.
