When you are ready to measure out the additive, read the safety labels on the containers. It is
recommended that petroleum-resistant gloves and protective glasses be worn when handling the additives.
The following precautions should be observed:
1.
DANGER, CAUSES BURNS, COMBUSTIBLE: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Avoid
breathing vapor. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and
open flames. Wash thoroughly after handling. Contains hydrocarbon-soluble amines,dioxaborinanes,
and petroleum kerosene.
2.
FIRST AID : In case of fire, use water spray, foam, dry chemicals or CO,.
4.
SPILL: Soak up with sand or earth.
E.
When mixing the stabilizer additive with the fuel, the following procedures should be observed:
1.
The additive system will not remove existing sludge, microbiological growth, and debris from a storage
tank or fuel tank, but it will help prevent further sludge from forming and will kill all organisms that may
be present. Fuel tanks containing large amounts of sludge and microbiological debris should be
cleaned and inspected before they are filled with additive treated fuel.
2.
The additive should never be added to an empty fuel tank that contains water bottoms. If the biocide
component is poured directly into water, it may react to form insoluble crystals that are ineffective as a
biocide and may possibly lead to plugged filters.
3.
Whenever possible, add the FSP-55/JF to partially (approximately 1/2 full) filled tanks to expedite
mixing. The addition of the remaining fuel needed to fill the tank serves to mix the additive thoroughly
and give quick proper dilution.
4.
If possible, add the additive to a flowing stream of fuel. This will ensure proper mixing and avoid
possible areas of high concentration.
5.
When using the additive, check the filters frequently at first. Dying microorganisms will release specks
of dirt and rust that have been caught in the fungal mats. Also, the slime itself may come off walls and
structures as it is killed. Once dead, the slimy nature of the fungus will disappear, and it should
become more filterable.
CAUTION
6.
Do not overtreat. This is most important and should be noted by all potential users. The treatment
levels specified have been developed after considerable research and are adequate to protect the fuel.
Use of excessive additive will unnecessarily increase the treatment cost and provide no additional
benefits.
7.
If you need to treat fuel being added to a partially-filled treated tank, calculate the treatment based only
on the amount of added fuel.
Example: A 10,000-gallon storage tank contains 5000 gallons of treated fuel. To fill the tank, 5000
gallons of fuel must be added. The correct treatment is one gallon of each FSP-55/JF component for
the 5000 gallons of added fuel.
8.
After the stabilizer additive has been thoroughly mixed with the fuel, it is not necessary to use any
special handling precautions with the fuel.
