[HE] <br /> MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> Gasoline, All Grades MSDS No. 9950 <br /> 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br /> ACTIVATE FACILITY SPILL CONTINGENCY or EMERGENCY PLAN. <br /> Evacuate nonessential personnel and remove or secure all ignition sources. Consider wind direction; stay <br /> upwind and uphill, if possible. Evaluate the direction of product travel, diking, sewers,etc. to confirm spill <br /> areas. Spills may infiltrate subsurface soil and groundwater; professional assistance may be necessary <br /> to determine the extent of subsurface impact. <br /> Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Protect bodies of water by diking, <br /> absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless <br /> system is designed and permitted to handle such material. The use of fire fighting foam may be useful in <br /> certain situations to reduce vapors. The proper use of water spray may effectively disperse product <br /> vapors or the liquid itself, preventing contact with ignition sources or areas/equipment that require <br /> protection. <br /> Take up with sand or other oil absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste <br /> container for reclamation or disposal -caution,flammable vapors may accumulate in closed containers. <br /> Response and clean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment <br /> (see Section 8). <br /> 7. HANDLING and STORAGE <br /> HANDLING PRECAUTIONS <br /> USE ONLY AS A MOTOR FUEL****** <br /> ******DO NOT SIPHON BY MOUTH****** <br /> Handle as a flammable liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame! Electrical equipment <br /> should be approved for classified area. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to reduce the <br /> 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 <br /> can exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil)is loaded into tanks previously containing low <br /> flash point products(such as this product)-see API Publication 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions <br /> Arising Out Of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents. <br /> STORAGE PRECAUTIONS <br /> Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved vented <br /> containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty product containers or vessels may contain <br /> explosive vapors. Do not 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 <br /> Combustible Liquid Code". Avoid storage near incompatible materials. The cleaning of tanks previously <br /> containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice(RP)2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In <br /> Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service"and API RP 2015"Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks". <br /> WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES <br /> Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a <br /> potential splash exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin <br /> exposure. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Do not use as a <br /> cleaning solvent on the skin. Do not use solvents or harsh abrasive skin cleaners for washing this product <br /> from exposed skin areas. Waterless hand cleaners are effective. Promptly remove contaminated <br /> clothing and launder before reuse. Use care when laundering to prevent the formation of flammable <br /> vapors which could ignite via washer or dryer. Consider the need to discard contaminated leather shoes <br /> and gloves. <br /> Revision Date: 09/25/2007 Page 4 of 9 <br />
