flow or agitation. Can be ignited by static discharge. Explosion-proof electrical equipment is
recommended and may be required by fire codes. Warning! Use of this material in spaces
without adequate ventilation may result in the generation of hazardous levels of combustion
products and/or inadequate oxygen levels for breathing. Odor is an inadequate warning for
hazardous conditions.
Storage:
Use and store this material in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight,
hot metal surfaces and all sources of ignition. Post area warnings: ‘No Smoking or Open Flame’.
Keep away from incompatible material. Outdoor or detached storage of portable containers is
preferred. Indoor storage should meet OSHA standards and appropriate fire codes.
Special Precautions:
To prevent and minimize fire or explosion risk from static accumulation and discharge,
effectively bond and/or ground product transfer system. Do not use electronic devices (such
as cellular phones, computers, calculators, pagers, etc.) in or around any fueling operation or
storage area unless the devices are certified as intrinsically safe. Electrical equipment and
fittings should comply with local fire codes.
Portable Containers:
Portable containers should never be filled while they are in or on a motor vehicle or marine
craft. Static electricity may ignite vapors when filling non-grounded containers or vehicles on
trailers.
To avoid static buildup, do not use a nozzle lock open device. Use only approved containers.
Keep containers tightly closed. Place the container on the ground before filling. Keep the
nozzle in contact with the container during filling.
Empty Container Warning:
Empty containers retain liquid and vapor residues and can be dangerous. Do NOT pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, static
electricity or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause injury or death. Do not
attempt to refill or clean containers since residue is difficult to remove. Empty drums should
be completely drained, properly closed and returned to the supplier or a qualified drum
reconditioner. All containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner in
accordance with government regulations.
