2.9 DIESEL FUEL SAFETY

2.9.1 Inhalation Hazard

DANGER

Always avoid breathing fuel vapors or

mists which may cause dizziness,

drowsiness, moderate eye irritation,

and/or skin irritation (rash). Excessive exposure

may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs,

and respiratory tract. Central nervous system

(brain) effects may include headache, dizziness,

loss of balance and coordination,

unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure,

and death.

In case of inhalation, move the person to fresh

air. If the person is not breathing, provide

articial respiration. If necessary, provide

additional oxygen once breathing is restored if

trained to do so. Seek medical attention

immediately.

2.9.2 Fire and Explosion Hazards

WARNING

Diesel fuel presents a moderate re

hazard. Vapors may be ignited rapidly

when exposed to heat, spark, open ame,

or other source of ignition. When mixed with air

and exposed to an ignition source, ammable

vapors can burn in the open or explode in

conned spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors

may travel long distances to an ignition source

and ash back. Runoff to sewer may cause re

or explosion hazard.

2.9.3 Eye Protection

WARNING

Safety glasses or goggles are

recommended where there is a possibility

of splashing or spraying. Contact with

liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation.

In case of contact with eyes, immediately ush

with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15

minutes. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate

ushing. Seek medical attention.

2.9.4 Ingestion

WARNING

The major health threat of ingestion

occurs from the danger of aspiration

(breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs,

particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may

result in chemical pneumonia (uid in the

lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure,

and even death. Ingestion will cause

gastrointestinal disturbances, including

irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and

central nervous system (brain) effects similar to

alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors,

convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma,

respiratory arrest, and death may occur.

In case of ingestion DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.

Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical

attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean

victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration.

Monitor for breathing difculties.

Small amounts of material which enter the

mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is

dissipated.

2.9.5 Skin Protection

CAUTION

Contact with diesel fuel may cause skin

irritation with prolonged or repeated

contact. Chemical protective clothing,

including gloves constructed of nitrile,

neoprene, or PVC, is recommended when in

close contact with diesel fuel. Long-term,

repeated exposure to diesel fuel may cause

skin cancer.

In case of contact with skin, remove

contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated

areas thoroughly with soap and water or

waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical

attention if irritation or redness develops.

2.9.6 Storage Precautions

CAUTION

Keep away from ame, sparks, excessive

temperatures, and open ame. Keep tank

ll port closed because an empty tank

may contain explosive vapors. Do not

pressurize, cut, heat, weld, or expose tanks to

sources of ignition.

Store the tank in a well-ventilated area.

Avoid storage near incompatible

materials.

2.10 GASOLINE SAFETY

2.10.1 Inhalation Hazard

DANGER

Always avoid breathing fuel vapors or

mists which may cause headache,

nausea, dizziness, drowsiness,

confusion, loss of balance and coordination,

unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure,

and death. Excessive exposure may cause

irritations to the nose, throat, lungs, and

respiratory tract. Central nervous system

(brain) effects may include convulsions and

seizures.

In case of inhalation, move the person to fresh

air. If the person is not breathing, provide

articial respiration. If necessary, provide

additional oxygen once breathing is restored if

trained to do so. Seek medical attention

immediately.

2.10.2 Fire and Explosion Hazards

WARNING

Gasoline is a Class IB Flammable Liquid.

Vapors may be ignited rapidly when

exposed to heat, spark, open ame, or

other source of ignition. When mixed with air

and exposed to an ignition source, ammable

vapors can burn in the open or explode in

conned spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors

may travel long distances to an ignition source

and ash back. Runoff to sewer may cause re

or explosion hazard.

2.10.3 Eye Protection

WARNING

Safety glasses or goggles are

recommended where there is a possibility

of splashing or spraying. Contact with

liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation.

In case of contact with eyes, immediately ush

with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15

minutes. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate

ushing. Seek medical attention.

2.10.4 Ingestion

WARNING

The major health threat of ingestion

occurs from the danger of aspiration

(breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs,

particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may

result in chemical pneumonia (uid in the

lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure,

and even death. Ingestion will cause

gastrointestinal disturbances, including

irritation, nausea, and vomiting and central

nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol

intoxication. In severe cases, tremors,

convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma,

respiratory arrest, and death may occur.

In case of ingestion DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.

Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical

attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean

victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration.

Monitor for breathing difculties.

Small amounts of material which enter the

mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is

dissipated.

2.10.5 Skin Protection

CAUTION

Contact with gasoline may cause skin

irritation with prolonged or repeated

contact. Wearing gloves constructed of

nitrile, neoprene, or PVC are recommended

when in close contact with gasoline. Chemical

protective clothing should also be worn. Long-

term, repeated exposure to gasoline may cause

skin cancer.

In case of contact with skin, remove

contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated

areas thoroughly with soap and water or

waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical

attention if irritation or redness develops.

2.10.6 Storage Precautions

CAUTION

Keep away from ame, sparks, excessive

temperatures, and open ame. Keep tank

ll port closed because an empty tank

Avoid storage near incompatible

materials.

2.11 BIODIESEL

Biodiesel is a fuel made from vegetable oil or

animal fat that has been processed to meet

the requirements of ASTM D6751 standard.

Unprocessed or recycled vegetable oils are not

biodiesel.

Biodiesel is often blended with petroleum diesel

fuel. When blended, the resulting fuel is known

by the percentage of biodiesel in the blend; ie. a

20% biodiesel blend with 80% petroleum diesel is

known as B20. Pure biodiesel is B100. Blends

with 20% biodiesel or less (B1-B20) are generally

treated like petroleum diesel fuel.

B100 (100% biodiesel) that meets ASTM D6751

has a “gel” point of 38°F (3.3°C). In some

situations, tank and pipeline heaters may be

needed to keep the temperature of the B100

above 40°F.

Biodiesel has scrubbing and cleaning properties

that tend to loosen rust, varnish, and dirt in storage

tanks, piping, and equipment. The resulting

debriscanclogltersandscreens,ordamage

equipment. It is important to take precautions to

preventproblemswhenrstusingbiodiesel.

The shelf life of biodiesel is six months for best

performance. Microbial growth may occur if

biodiesel is stored for longer periods.

NOTICE

The standard pump and meter are not compatible

with biodiesel fuel blends greater than 20% (B20).

Damage to the seals will occur. For fuel with

more than 20% biodiesel, use a pump and meter

specically designed for biodiesel fuel blends.

2.12 U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND

LOCAL REGULATORY INFORMATION

For accurate measurement and to prevent meter

damage, the meter and piping must always be

lledwithliquidandbefreeofair.

Typically, fuel meters can be calibrated for either

U.S. gallons or liters. Calibration is normally

required before installation, after disassembly,

after wear due to normal operation, or when

changing from gallons to liters.

1. If equipped, verify whether the meter installed

on the tank is factory calibrated for U.S.

gallons or liters.

2. Selectacontainerofknownvolume;ave

gallon container or larger should be used.

3. Fill a container to a known volume.

4. Check the reading on the meter. If the meter

is incorrect, adjust the calibration screw to

9.7 TANK INSPECTION

The tank should be thoroughly inspected regularly,

and whenever a repair is made. Documentation of

the inspections should be retained for two or three

years(federalregulations).Decienciesnoted

during the inspection should be corrected as soon

as possible.

The inspection should include at least the

following:

• A visual examination of the tank system

for deterioration, including but not limited

to the tank and its coating, hoses and

ttings,pipes,foundation,anddrainage

mechanism.

• A dipstick inspection of tank contents, at the

lowest point, for the presence of water.

• A check of the interstitial space (i.e., the

space between the walls) of a double-walled

a tank for accumulation of fuel or water.

• Conrmationthatalldrainvalvesare

securely closed when not in use.

• An inspection for accumulation of water or

fuel in the containment area.

• A check of the spill bucket to make sure it is

• Clogged or restricted vents could cause damage to tanks and piping releasing liquids which could catch  re.

• Dust, debris, freezing rain, freezing condensation or other contaminants could clog or restrict the vents.

• In freezing conditions, inspect the vents immediately before  lling or unloading a tank.

• Follow your employer’s instructions for making sure vents are not clogged or restricted.

• You must be trained to inspect the vents. Stop now if you have not been trained.

• Do not  ll or unload from a tank unless you are certain that the tank vents will operate correctly.

• For your safety, it is important to follow local, state, federal and/or OSHA rules that apply to working inside,

above, or around the storage tank and piping area. Use all personal protective equipment required for working

in the speci c environment.

• Tanks could be under pressure. Vapors could be expelled from tank vents, piping, valves or  ttings while

performing maintenance. Vapors could catch  re or cause an explosion. Avoid sparks, open ﬂ ame, or hot tools

when working on vents.

Steps

1. Lift the cover of the vent all the way up and lower back down onto the body several times. The cover must

move freely for the vent to work properly.

2. Replace the unit if sticking or binding occurs during step 1 above.

3. Inspect the vent, including the seal area, for dust, debris, snow or ice. Remove any that is found.

4. Inspect all vent components and surfaces for damage, corrosion or excessive wear. If any is found replace the

vent.

5. Inspect the vent warning tag located near the tank  ll and ofﬂ oading area. If the tag is damaged or dif cult to

read, contact Morrison Bros. Co. at (800) 553-4840 for a free replacement tag.

Failure to follow any or all of the warnings or instructions in this document could result in a hazardous

product spill, which could result in property damage, environmental contamination, ﬁ re explosion,

serious injury or death.
