DISTILLATES, [STRAIGHT RUN]

A watery colorless liquid with a gasoline-like odor. Product of petroleum distillation. Floats on water. Irritating vapor. (USCG, 1999)

• Highly Flammable

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Excerpt from 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks, etc.). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids will float on water. Substance may be transported hot. For hybrid vehicles, 147 (lithium ion batteries) or 138 (sodium batteries) should also be consulted. If molten aluminum is involved, refer to 169 . (ERG, 2020)

INHALATION: irritation of upper respiratory tract; dizziness, headache, coma, respiratory arrest; cardiac arrhythmias may occur. ASPIRATION: severe lung irritation, coughing, pulmonary edema, signs of bronchopneumonia; acute central nervous system excitation, followed by depression. INGESTION: irritation of mouth and stomach; other symptoms as above. (USCG, 1999)

Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, which are contained in DISTILLATES, [STRAIGHT RUN], may be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nitric acid. Charring of the hydrocarbon may occur followed by ignition of unreacted hydrocarbon and other nearby combustibles. In other settings, aliphatic saturated hydrocarbons are mostly unreactive. They are not affected by aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, most oxidizing agents, and most reducing agents. When heated sufficiently or when ignited in the presence of air, oxygen or strong oxidizing agents, they burn exothermically to produce carbon dioxide and water. May be ignited by strong oxidizers.

Excerpt from 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions.

LARGE SPILL: Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet).

FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2020)

Fire Extinguishing Agents Not to Be Used: Water may be ineffective

Fire Extinguishing Agents: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical (USCG, 1999)

Excerpt from 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:

ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.

LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. (ERG, 2020)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 128 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Immiscible)]:

Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides thermal protection but only limited chemical protection. (ERG, 2020)

Seek medical attention.

INHALATION: maintain respiration and administer oxygen.

ASPIRATION: enforce bed rest and administer oxygen.

INGESTION: do NOT induce vomiting; lavage carefully if appreciable quantity was swallowed; guard against aspiration into lungs.

EYES: wash with plenty of water.

SKIN: remove by wiping and wash with soap and water. (USCG, 1999)
