FUEL OIL NO. 2 0ct0ber1W <br /> Combustible Liquid <br /> GENERAL INFORMATION <br /> Fuel oil no 2 is a light brown liquid commonly used as a general purpose domestic or commensal 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 form <br /> a floating oil slick Its mitumum flash point of about 126T indicates that some degree of preheating is necessary before the <br /> product can be ignited easily Accumulations of vapor from heated liquid in confined spaces may result in explosions If <br /> ignited There is a Minuted potential for containers of liquid to rupture violently if exposed to fire or excessive heat for <br /> sufficient tune 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 oxudznng materials that may cause Its Ignition. <br /> Toxicity via potential routes of exposure is low to moderate Products of combustion may include toxic constituents <br /> CHEMICALJPE YSICAL DATA <br /> Solubility in Water.
