Safety Data Sheet <br /> Material Name: Diesel Fuel, All Types SDS No. 9909 <br /> Personal Precautions and Protective Equipment <br /> Response and clean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment(see Section <br /> 8). <br /> Environmental Precautions <br /> Protect bodies of water by diking, absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or <br /> drainage systems, unless system is designed and permitted to handle such material. The use of fire fighting foam <br /> may be useful in certain situations to reduce vapors. The proper use of water spray may effectively disperse <br /> product vapors or the liquid itself, preventing contact with ignition sources or areas/equipment that require <br /> protection. <br /> Prevention of Secondary Hazards <br /> None <br /> * * * Section 7 - Handling and Storage <br /> Handling Procedures <br /> Handle as a combustible liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame! No <br /> smoking or open flame in storage, use or handling areas. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to <br /> reduce the possibility of static-initiated fire or explosion. <br /> Special slow load procedures for"switch loading"must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can <br /> exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil) is loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point <br /> products(such as this product)-see API Publication 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out Of Static, <br /> Lightning and Stray Currents." <br /> Storage Procedures <br /> Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved vented containers. Keep <br /> containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty product containers or vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not <br /> 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 Combustible <br /> Liquid Code".Avoid storage near incompatible materials. The cleaning of tanks previously containing this product <br /> should follow API Recommended Practice(RP)2013"Cleaning Mobile Tanks In Flammable and Combustible <br /> Liquid Service"and API RP 2015"Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks." <br /> Incompatibilities <br /> Keep away from strong oxidizers. <br /> * * * Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection <br /> Component Exposure Limits <br /> Fuels, diesel, no.2 (68476-34-6) <br /> ACGIH: 100 mg/m3 TWA(inhalable fraction and vapor,as total hydrocarbons, listed under Diesel fuel) <br /> Skin-potential significant contribution to overall exposure by the cutaneous route(listed under <br /> Diesel fuel) <br /> Page 4 of 10 Revision Date 8/30/12 <br />
