_ SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> GL0R4LL Diesel Fuel <br /> • <br /> For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may be advantageous to further minimize personnel <br /> exposure.Major fires may require withdrawal,allowing the tank to burn.Large storage tank fires typically require specially <br /> trained personnel and equipment to extinguish the fire,often including the need for properly applied firefighting foam. <br /> Fighting Equipment/Instructions <br /> Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat,smoke or toxic by-products of combustion should <br /> require NIOSH-approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece and protective clothing. <br /> Refer to Section 9 for fire properties of this chemical including flash point,auto ignition temperature,and explosive limits. <br /> 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br /> -"Art SPCC.SPILL CONTINGENCY or EMERGENCY PLAN. <br /> Personal Precautions <br /> Due to high vapor density,flammable/toxic vapors may be present in low lying areas,dikes,pits,drains,or trenches. Vapors <br /> may accumulate in low lying areas and reach ignitable concentrations. Ventilate the area. Use of non-sparking tools and <br /> intrinsically safe equipment is recommended. Potential for flammable atmosphere should be monitored using a combustible <br /> gas indicator positioned downwind of the spill area. Refer to Sections 2 and 7 for further hazard warnings and handling <br /> instructions. <br /> Use appropriate personal protective equipment to prevent eye/skin contact and absorption. Use NIOSH approved respiratory <br /> protection,if warranted,to prevent exposures above permissible limits. Refer to Section 8. Contaminated clothing should not <br /> be near sources of ignition. <br /> Emergency Measures <br /> As an immediate precautionary measure,isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters(150 feet)in all directions. Consider <br /> wind direction. Secure all ignition sources(flame,spark,hot work,hot metal,etc.)from area. Evaluate the direction of <br /> • product travel,diking sewers,etc.to confirm spill areas. Do not touch or walk-through spilled material. For large spills,isolate <br /> initial action distance downwind 1,000 ft.(300 m). <br /> Environmental Precautions <br /> Stop the spill to prevent environmental release if it can be done safely. Product is toxic to aquatic life. Take action to isolate <br /> environmental receptors including drains,storm sewers and natural water bodies. Keep on impervious surface if at all possible. <br /> Use water sparingly to prevent product from spreading. Foam and absorbents may be used to reduce/prevent airborne <br /> release. <br /> Spills may infiltrate subsurface soil and groundwater;professional assistance may be necessary to determine the extent of <br /> subsurface impact. <br /> Follow federal,state or local requirements for reporting environmental release where necessary. Refer to Section 15 for <br /> further information. <br /> Containment and Clean-Up Methods <br /> Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill,if safe to do so. Protect bodies of water by diking absorbents,or absorbent <br /> boom,if possible.Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems,unless system is designed and permitted to handle such <br /> material.The use of firefighting foam may be useful in certain situations to reduce vapors.The proper use of water spray may <br /> effectively disperse product vapors or the liquid itself,preventing contact with ignition sources or areas/equipment that require <br /> protection. <br /> Take up with dry earth,sand or other non-combustible,inert oil absorbing materials.Carefully shovel,scoop or sweep up into a <br /> waste container with clean,non-sparking tools for reclamation or disposal.Response and cleanup crews must be properly <br /> trained and must utilize proper protective equipment. Refer to Section 8 for appropriate protective equipment. <br /> 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE <br /> USE ONLY AS A FUEL. <br /> DO NOT SIPHON BY MOUTH. <br /> Handling Precautions <br /> • Handle as a flammable liquid. Keep away from heat,sparks,and open flame.No smoking. Electrical equipment should be <br /> approved for classified area.Bond and ground containers during product transfer pursuant to NFPA 70 and API RP 2003 to <br /> Page 4 of 11 May 2016 <br />
