EHEjS] <br /> MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> Gasoline, All Grades MSDS No. 9950 <br /> DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical attention. If spontaneous <br /> vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Small amounts of material which <br /> enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is dissipated. <br /> INHALATION <br /> Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, ensure an open airway and provide artificial <br /> respiration. If necessary, provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek <br /> medical attention immediately. <br /> 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES <br /> FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES: <br /> FLASH POINT: -45 OF (-43°C) <br /> AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: highly variable; > 530 OF (>280°C) <br /> OSHA/NFPA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: 1A(flammable liquid) <br /> LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT(%): 1.4% <br /> UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT(%): 7.6% <br /> FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS <br /> Vapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of ignition. <br /> Flowing product may be ignited by self-generated static electricity. When mixed with air and exposed to <br /> an ignition source,flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier <br /> than air,vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may <br /> cause fire or explosion hazard. <br /> EXTINGUISHING MEDIA <br /> SMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical, CO2, water spray,fire fighting <br /> foam, or Halon. <br /> LARGE FIRES: Water spray,fog or fire fighting foam. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire, but <br /> may be used to cool fire-exposed containers. <br /> During certain times of the year and/or in certain geographical locations, gasoline may contain MTBE <br /> and/or TAME. Firefighting foam suitable for polar solvents is recommended for fuel with greater than <br /> 10%oxygenate concentration -refer to NFPA 11 "Low Expansion Foam - 1994 Edition." <br /> FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS <br /> Small fires in the incipient(beginning)stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fire <br /> extinguishers and other fire fighting equipment. <br /> Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic by-products of <br /> combustion should require NIOSH/MSHA-approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing <br /> apparatus with full facepiece and full protective clothing. <br /> Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire and <br /> excessive heat with water. For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may <br /> be advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require withdrawal, allowing <br /> the tank to bum. Large storage tank fres typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to <br /> extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied fire fighting foam. <br /> See Section 16 for the NFPA 704 Hazard Rating. <br /> Revision Date: 09/25/2007 Page 3 of 9 <br />
