? SKIN
Immediately flush with large amounts of water for 20 minutes, use soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing,
including shoes, after flushing has begun. Get prompt medical attention. Injection injuries may not appear serious at
first but within a few hours, without proper treatment, the area will become swollen, discolored and extremely painful.
Wash clothing before reuse.
? EYES
Flush eye with water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention.
? INGESTION
If swallowed, immediately contact a physician or Poison Control Center. Never give anything by mouth to an
intoxicated, unconscious or convulsing person. Get immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting!
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
? EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
The following media may be used to extinguish a fire involving this material: Water spray; Regular foam; Dry
chemical; Carbon dioxide;
? FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Use water spray to cool fire exposed tanks and containers. Wear structural fire fighting gear. The use of fresh air
equipment such as Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) or Supplied Air Respirators should be worn for fire
fighting if exposure or potential exposure to products of combustion is expected.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Prevent ignition, stop leak and ventilate the area. Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use combustible
materials such as sawdust. Absorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical waste
container. Do not use spark-generating metals for sweeping up spilled material. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Vapor can be controlled using a water fog. Water streams should not be directed
to the liquid as this will cause the liquid to boil and generate more vapor. Keep personnel upwind from leak. Use
appropriate personal protective equipment as stated in Section 8 of this MSDS. Advise the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and appropriate state agencies, if required.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
? HANDLING
Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain product residue. Use only in
a well-ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Avoid breathing (dust, vapor, mist,
gas). Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Never siphon by mouth. "Empty"
containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. DO NOT PRESSURIZE, CUT, WELD,
BRAZE, SOLDER, DRILL, GRIND, OR EXPOSE SUCH CONTAINERS TO HEAT, FLAME, SPARKS, STATIC
ELECTRICITY, OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION. THEY MAY EXPLODE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
Empty drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioned, or
properly disposed of. A static electrical discharge can accumulate when this material is flowing through pipes,
nozzles or filters or when it is agitated. A static spark discharge can ignite accumulated vapors particularly during dry
weather. Always bond receiving containers to the fill pipe before and during loading. Always keep nozzle in contact
with the container throughout the loading process. Do not fill any portable container in or on the vehicle.

and boiling point is greater than or equal to 100 degrees F. Outside or detached storage is preferred.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Consult With a Health and Safety Professional for Specific Selections
? ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. Use with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary to control
any air contaminants to within their TLVs during the use of this product. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
? PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE PROTECTION
Use chemical splash goggles and face shield (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).
GLOVES or HAND PROTECTION
The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. Gloves of other chemically resistant
materials may not provide adequate protection. Protective gloves are recommended to protect against contact
with product. Nitrile; Viton; Teflon;
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Concentration in air determines the level of respiratory protection needed. Use only NIOSH certified respiratory
equipment. Half-mask air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges is acceptable for exposures to ten
(10) times the exposure limit. Full-face air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges is acceptable for
exposures to fifty (50) times the exposure limit. Exposure should not exceed the cartridge limit of 1000 ppm.
Protection by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure-demand full-face supplied air respirator
or SCBA for exposures greater than fifty (50) times the exposure limit. If exposure is above the IDLH
(Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) or there is the possibility of an uncontrolled release, or exposure
levels are unknown, then use a positive pressure-demand full-face supplied air respirator with escape bottle or
SCBA. Wear a NIOSH-approved (or equivalent) full-facepiece airline respirator in the positive pressure mode
with emergency escape provisions.
OTHER
Where splashing is possible, full chemically resistant protective clothing (e.g., acid suit) and boots are required.
The following materials are acceptable for use as protective clothing: Nitrile; Viton; Teflon; Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Remove contaminated

15. OTHER INFORMATION
Precautionary labeling for pumps, portable containers, and drums is required. A "hazardous when empty" pictogram
and D.O.T. flammable liquid label are also required for drums. Details available upon request. Because benzene is
present in this product above 0.1%, the Osha Standard for benzene is applicable to work locations upstream of final
discharge from terminals. Consult 29CFR1910.1028 for details. Prolonged and repeated excessive exposures to
benzene can result in blood disorders ranging from anemia to leukemia. Sun recommends that exposures to benzene
be kept below 1.0 ppm for 8-hours; 5.0 ppm for 15-min. Normal service station operations are below these values. For
use as motor fuel only. Do not use for any other purpose. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Catecholamines and similar

R00000225900, SUNOCO MAXNOS
08/28/06
adrenergic drugs are generally contraindicated because of potential for increased sensitivity of the heart from
hydrocarbon overexposure and subsequent ventricular fibrillation. EKG monitoring may be indicated and
bronchodilators should be selected with care. Following injection, prompt debridement of the wound is necessary to
minimize necrosis and tissue loss. COMPONENT TOXICITY: Tetraethyl lead is toxic by ingestion, intraperitoneal,
intravenous, subcutaneous and parenteral routes. It is moderately toxic by inhalation and skin contact. Teratogenic
and reproductive effects have been associated with tetraethyl lead in experimental animals. Lead compounds such
as tetraethyl lead, can affect the central nervous system. Initial heatlh effects from overexposure to organic lead
compounds could include subtle central nervous system effects such as insomnia or mood changes. These signs
could progress to toxic psychosis with delirium, convulsions or coma if exposure is continued or increased. Higher
exposure could also cause signs of nonspecific discomfort, such as nausea, headache or weakness. Abnormal liver
function as indicated by laboratory test, and pulmonary edema could occur from gross overexposure. Death could
result from pulmonary edema or neurological effects. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is
emptied because it may retain product residue. Keep out of reach of children.
