IV. SAFETY RULES DURING OPERATION OF TT250/425/600 TANK
1. Information about dangerous substance
Diesel oil is a commonly used fuel for diesel engines used in vehicles, stationary equipment, construction machinery
and all kinds of agricultural machinery . Diesel as a combustible liquid is classified to class III due to its ignition
temperature . It is a liquid obtained by the distillation of crude oil, consisting mainly of a mixture of hydrocarbons
having a carbon number from C9 to C20 . Pour point depending on the grade from -4°C to -40°C . Flash point from
56°C to 64°C . Auto-ignition temperature from 270°C .
Diesel oil vapours are about 6 times heavier than air and accumulate at the ground surface and at the lower parts of
premises and land depressions . Under specific conditions, diesel oil vapours may form an explosive mixture with air .
2. Hazards that may be posed by a stored material (diesel) and ways of minimizing them
During operation of TT250/425/600 tank the users are required to:
• Use protective gloves when refuelling .
• Protect their skin from repetitive or prolonged contact with diesel oil .
• Immediately wash the body part with soap and water in case of contamination .
