* All concentrations are percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume.
Note: The concentration of the components shown above may vary substantially. In certain countries, benzene content
may be limited to lower levels. Oxygenates such as tertiary-amyl-methyl ether, ethanol, di-isopropyl ether, and ethyl-
tertiary-butyl ether may be present. Because of volatility considerations, gasoline vapor may have concentrations of
components very different from those of liquid gasoline. The major components of gasoline vapor are: butane,
isobutane, pentane, and isopentane. The reportable component percentages, shown in the composition/information on
ingredients section, are based on API's evaluation of a typical gasoline mixture.

SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish
flames.
Inappropriate Extinguishing Media: Straight streams of water
FIRE FIGHTING
Fire Fighting Instructions: Evacuate area. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the
vapours and to protect personnel attempting to stop a leak. Prevent run-off from fire control or dilution from
entering streams, sewers or drinking water supply. Fire-fighters should use standard protective equipment and
in enclosed spaces, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Use water spray to cool fire exposed
surfaces and to protect personnel.
Unusual Fire Hazards: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. Vapour is flammable and heavier than air. Vapour may
travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources, causing a flashback fire danger.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Smoke, Fume, Aldehydes, Sulphur Oxides, Incomplete combustion
products, Oxides of carbon

Page 4 of 13
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Notification Procedures
In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable
regulations.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material. Warn or evacuate occupants in surrounding and downwind areas if
required, due to toxicity or flammability of the material. See Section 5 for fire fighting information. See the
Hazard Identification Section for Significant Hazards. See Section 4 for First Aid Advice. See Section 8 for
Personal Protective Equipment.
SPILL MANAGEMENT
Land Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if
you can do so without risk. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or
walk through spilled material. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. A vapour-
suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapour. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Large Spills:
Water spray may reduce vapour, but may not prevent ignition in enclosed spaces. Recover by pumping or with
suitable absorbent.
Water Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak
if you can do so without risk. Do not confine in area of spill. Advise occupants and shipping in downwind areas
of fire and explosion hazard and warn them to stay clear. Allow liquid to evaporate from the surface. Seek the
advice of a specialist before using dispersants.
Water spill and land spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material;
however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of a water spill) wave and current direction
and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Large Spills: Dyke far ahead of liquid spill for later recovery and disposal. Prevent entry into waterways,
sewers, basements or confined areas.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Avoid breathing mists or vapour. Avoid contact with skin. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof
equipment. Potentially toxic/irritating fumes/vapour may be evolved from heated or agitated material. Do not
siphon by mouth. Use only with adequate ventilation. Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures. Do not
use as a cleaning solvent or other non-motor fuel uses. For use as a motor fuel only. It is dangerous and/or
unlawful to put petrol into unapproved containers. Do not fill container while it is in or on a vehicle. Static
electricity may ignite vapour and cause fire. Place container on ground when filling and keep nozzle in contact
with container. Do not use electronic devices (including but not limited to cellular phones, computers,
calculators, pagers or other electronic devices etc) in or around any fuelling operation or storage area unless
the devices are certified intrinsically safe by an approved national testing agency and to the safety standards
required by national and/or local laws and regulations. Prevent small spills and leakage to avoid slip hazard.
Material can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source).

CHRONIC/OTHER EFFECTS
For the product itself:
Laboratory animal studies have shown that prolonged and repeated inhalation exposure to light hydrocarbon
vapours in the same boiling range as this product can produce adverse kidney effects in male rats. However,
these effects were not observed in similar studies with female rats, male and female mice, or in limited studies
with other animal species. Additionally, in a number of human studies, there was no clinical evidence of such
effects at normal occupational levels. In 1991, The U.S. EPA determined that the male rat kidney is not useful
for assessing human risk. Vapour concentrations above recommended exposure levels are irritating to the
eyes and the respiratory tract, may cause headaches and dizziness, are anaesthetic and may have other
central nervous system effects. Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from
vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary edema.
Contains:
BENZENE: Caused cancer (leukemia), damage to the blood-producing system, and serious blood disorders
from prolonged, high exposure based on human epidemiology studies. Caused genetic effects and effects on
the immune system in laboratory animal and some human studies. Caused toxicity to the fetus in laboratory
animal studies.
CUMENE: Repeated inhalation exposure of cumene vapour produced damage in the kidney of male rats only.
Product Name: UNLEADED GASOLINE

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
These effects are believed to be species specific and are not relevant to humans. GASOLINE UNLEADED:
Carcinogenic in animal tests. Chronic inhalation studies resulted in liver tumours in female mice and kidney
tumours in male rats. Neither result considered significant for human health risk assessment by the United
States EPA and others. Did not cause mutations in-vitro or in-vivo. Negative in inhalation developmental studies
and reproductive tox studies. Inhalation of high concentrations in animals resulted in reversible central nervous
system depression, but no persistent toxic effect on the nervous system. Non-sensitizing in test animals.
Caused nerve damage in humans from abusive use (sniffing). METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE):
Carcinogenic in animal tests. Inhalation exposure to high concentrations resulted in higher than expected
mortality in male mice due to urinary tract obstructions and female mice displayed benign liver tumours.
Inhalation exposure to high concentrations resulted in higher than expected mortality in male rats due to
progressive kidney damage as well as increased benign and malignant kidney tumours, and benign testicular
tumours. Did not cause mutations in-vitro or in-vivo. Rabbits exposed to high vapour concentrations did not
have any offspring with adverse developmental effects. Mice exposed to high vapour concentrations (maternally
toxic) had offspring with embryo/fetal toxicity and birth defects. Rats exposed to high vapour concentrations did
not display any treatment-related effects in a two generation reproduction study.The significance of the animal
findings at high exposures are not believed to be directly related to potential human health hazards in the
workplace. NAPHTHALENE: Exposure to high concentrations of naphthalene may cause destruction of red
blood cells, anemia, and cataracts. Naphthalene caused cancer in laboratory animal studies, but the relevance
of these findings to humans is uncertain.
N-HEXANE: Prolonged and/or repeated exposures to n-Hexane can cause progressive and potentially
irreversible damage to the peripheral nervous system (e.g. fingers, feet, arms, legs, etc.). Simultaneous
exposure to Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) or Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) and n-Hexane can potentiate the risk
of adverse effects from n-Hexane on the peripheral nervous system. n-Hexane has been shown to cause
testicular damage at high doses in male rats. The relevance of this effect for humans is unknown. TOLUENE :
Concentrated, prolonged or deliberate inhalation may cause brain and nervous system damage. Prolonged
and repeated exposure of pregnant animals (> 1500 ppm) have been reported to cause adverse fetal
developmental effects. ETHYLBENZENE: Caused cancer in laboratory animal studies. The relevance of these
findings to humans is uncertain.
XYLENES: High exposures to xylenes in some animal studies have been reported to cause health effects on
the developing embryo/fetus. These effects were often at levels toxic to the mother. The significance of these
findings to humans has not been determined.

PRECAUTIONS
Avoid breathing mists or vapour. Avoid contact with skin. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Potentially toxic/irritating fumes/vapour may be evolved from heated or agitated material. Do not siphon by mouth. Use
only with adequate ventilation. Use proper bonding and/or earthing procedures.
FIRST AID
INHALATION: Remove from further exposure. For those providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself or others.
Use adequate respiratory protection. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek
immediate medical assistance. If breathing has stopped, assist ventilation with a mechanical device or use mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation.
Eye: Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.
Oral: Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting.
Skin: Wash contact areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Launder contaminated clothing
before reuse. If product is injected into or under the skin, or into any part of the body, regardless of the appearance of
the wound or its size, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a physician as a surgical emergency. Even
though initial symptoms from high pressure injection may be minimal or absent, early surgical treatment within the first
few hours may significantly reduce the ultimate extent of injury.
FIRE FIGHTING MEDIA
Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
SPILL/LEAK
Land Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if you
can do so without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. A vapour-suppressing foam
may be used to reduce vapour. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to
containers. Recover by pumping or with suitable absorbent.
Water Spill: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if you
can do so without risk. Do not confine in area of spill. Advise occupants and shipping in downwind areas of fire and
