Polaris Material Safety Data Sheet
concentration and duration of exposure. Repeated or prolonged exposures
may cause may cause behavioral changes. May cause cardiac sensitization,
including arrhythmias (irregular heart beat) and death due to cardiac arrest.
Ingestion: Slightly toxic. May cause irritation of the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal
tract. Symptoms may include salivation, pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Aspiration into lungs may cause chemical pneumonia and lung damage.
Exposure may also cause CNS symptoms similar to those listed under
"Inhalation".
Other: Special Toxic Effects:
Acute or chronic overexposure to this material or its components may cause
systemic toxicity, including adverse effects to the following: kidney, liver,
spleen, pancreas, lymphoid tissue, pituitary, thyroid, adrenals and thymus.
Other system/organs affected include respiratory and CNS effects.
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact: Flush immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids
should be held away from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. Get medical
attention if irritation persists.
Skin contact: Immediately wash skin with plenty of soap and water while removing
contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or
persists.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, institute cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(CPR). If breathing is difficult, ensure airway is clear and give oxygen. Keep
affected person warm and at rest. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting because of danger of aspirating liquid into lungs,
causing serious damage and chemical pneumonitis. If spontaneous vomiting
occurs keep head below hips to prevent aspiration and monitor for breathing
difficulty. Gastric lavage should be performed only by qualified medical
personnel. Keep affected person warm and at rest. GET IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Other: Notes to physician:
Aspiration of low viscosity petroleum products may cause severe pneumonitis
(oil pneumonia). Vomiting should not be induced. In unconscious victims, use
of an endotracheal tube should be considered, if gastric lavage is undertaken.
If spontaneous vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be
monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs
may be delayed up to 48 hours.
In cases of acute poisoning, artificial respiration with administration of oxygen
may be useful for support. DO NOT GIVE EPINEPHRINE, EPHEDRINE OR
SIMILAR ADRENERGIC DRUGS - THEY MAY INDUCE FATAL
VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION. Electrocardiographic monitoring should be
carried out with severly ill patients to anticipate possible cardiac arrest.
Anemia may require the usual supportive measures. Medical evaluation of
acute overexposure should include hematological determinations until stable.
In severe acute and chronic poisoning, both renal and hepatic damage may
occur and should be anticipated in such cases. Respiratory and pulmonary
problems may require special attention. After severe acute symptoms have
been alleviated, it may be advisable to consider periodic monitoring of the
patient until such time as the likelihood of other adverse effects can be
discounted.
INHALATION ABUSE: Gasoline is one of the solvents used by chemical
substance abusers. These patients may present acute or chronic CNS signs or
symptoms as well as arrythmia.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash point: - 37C

Polaris Racing Fuel 114 Octane (1733) Page 2 of 7
Polaris Material Safety Data Sheet
Extinguishing media: Use water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam, all purpose AFFF or carbon
dioxide to extinguish fire.
Special firefighting
procedures: Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. If leak or spill has not ignited,
ventilate area and use water spray to disperse gas or vapor and to protect
personnel attempting to stop a leak.
Use water spray to cool adjacent structures and to protect personnel. Shut off
source of flow if possible (safely). Stay away from storage tank ends.
Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any
discoloration of storage tank due to fire.
Fire fighters must wear MSHA/NIOSH approved positive pressure breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with full face mask and full protective equipment.
Unusual fire &
explosion hazards: Extremely flammable. Vapors form flammable or explosive mixtures with air at
room temperature. Vapor or gas may spread to distant ignition sources and
flash back.
Byproducts of
combustion: Fires involving this product may release COx, NOx, SOx, reactive hydrocarbons
and irritating vapors.
Autoignition
temperature: Not determined.
Explosion data: Explosion hazard if exposed to extreme heat or to physical or thermal shock.
Other: Not applicable.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill control
procedures (land): Immediately turn off or isolate any source of ignition (pilot lights, electrical
equipment, flames, heaters, etc.). Evacuate area and ventilate. Personnel
wearing proper protective equipment should contain spill immediately with inert
materials (sand, earth, chemical spill pads of cotton) by forming dikes. Dikes
should be placed to contain spill in a manner that will prevent material from
entering sewers and waterways. Large spill, once contained, may be picked up
using explosion proof, non-sparking vacuum pumps, shovels, or buckets, and
disposed of in suitable containers for disposal. If a large spill occurs notify
appropriate authorities.
Spill control
procedures (water): Remove from surface by skimming or with suitable adsorbents. If a large spill
occurs notify appropriate authorities (normally the National Response Center or
Coast Guard).
Waste disposal
method: Most fuels are incinerated or reclaimed. All disposals must comply with federal,
state, and local regulations. The material, if spilled or discarded may be a
regulated waste. Refer to state and local regulations. Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations may apply for transporting this material when
spilled. See Section 14.
Other: CAUTION - If spilled material is cleaned up using a regulated solvent, the
resulting waste mixture will be regulated.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling procedures: Ground lines and equipment used during transfer to reduce the possibility of
static spark-initiated fire or explosion. Use non-sparking tools.
Storage procedures: Keep containers closed when not in use. Ground storage containers. Do not
transfer to unmarked containers. Fire extinguishers should be kept readily
available. See NFPA 30 and OSHA 1910.106 -- Flammable and Combustible
Liquids.
Store containers away from heat, sparks, open flame, or oxidizing materials.
Additional information: Empty containers retain product residue which may exhibit hazards of material,

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Personal protection: Applicable mainly to persons in repeated contact situations such as packaging
of product, service/maintenance, production, and cleanup/spill control
personnel.
Respiratory protection: An NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an organic vapor
cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where
airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection
provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air
supplied respirator if there is any potential for an unconntrolled release,
exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances where air purifying
respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Eye protection: Eye protection is recommended. If material is handled such that it could be
splashed into the eyes, wear safety glasses with side shields or vented/splash
proof goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).
Hand protection: Avoid skin contact with this material. Impervious gloves such as neoprene or
nitrile rubber to avoid skin sensitization and absorption due to prolonged
exposures.
Other protection: Use of an apron and overboots of chemically impervious materials such as
neoprene or nitrile rubber is recommended to avoid skin sensitization and
absorption. Launder soiled clothes. Properly dispose of contaminated leather
articles and other materials which cannot be decontaminated.
Local control
measures: Use adequate ventilation when working with material in an enclosed area.
Mechanical methods such as fume hoods or area fans may be used to reduce
localized vapor/mist areas. If vapor or mist is generated when the material
handled, adequate ventilation in accordance with good engineering practice
must be provided to maintain concentrations below the specifed exposure.
