Diesel fuel

Diesel fuel, also called diesel oil, fuel oil (historically), or simply diesel, is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in a diesel engine, a type of internal combustion engine in which fuel ignition takes place as a result of compression of the inlet air and then injection of fuel without a spark. Therefore, diesel fuel needs good compression ignition characteristics. The most common type of diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of petroleum fuel oil, but alternatives that are not derived from petroleum, such as biodiesel, biomass to liquid (BTL) or gas to liquid (GTL) diesel are increasingly being developed and adopted. To distinguish these types, petroleum-derived diesel is sometimes called petrodiesel in some academic circles. Diesel is a high-volume product of oil refineries. In many countries, diesel fuel is standardized. Wikipedia

Hazardous Materials Table

(3) Hazard Class 3 Flammable liquids	(4) Identification number NA 1993	(5) Packing Group III
(6) Labels None
(1) Symbols This entry is signed with "D". The letter "D" identifies proper shipping names which are appropriate for describing materials for domestic transportation but may be inappropriate for international transportation under the provisions of international regulations (e.g., IMO, ICAO). An alternate proper shipping name may be selected when either domestic or international transportation is involved. (7) Special Provisions (§172.102) ×Note: Special provisions may be very complex. The extracts are taken from 49 CFR §172.102. Please be careful with the information, as necessary, additional conditions may be applied that are not written here. Please check the original source and report bugs. 144 If transported as a residue in an underground storage tank (UST), as defined in §280.12, that has been cleaned and purged or rendered inert according to the American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 1604 (IBR, see §171.7), then the tank and this material are not subject to any other requirements of this subchapter. However, sediments remaining in the tank that meet the definition for a hazardous material are subject to the applicable regulations of this subchapter. Browse special provision 144 B1 If the material has a flash point at or above 38 °C (100 °F) and below 93 °C (200 °F), then the bulk packaging requirements of §173.241 are applicable. If the material has a flash point of less than 38 °C (100 °F), then the bulk packaging requirements of §173.242 are applicable. Browse special provision B1 IB3 Authorized IBCs: Metal (31A, 31B and 31N); Rigid plastics (31H1 and 31H2); Composite (31HZ1 and 31HA2, 31HB2, 31HN2, 31HD2 and 31HH2). Additional Requirement: Only liquids with a vapor pressure less than or equal to 110 kPa at 50 °C (1.1 bar at 122 °F), or 130 kPa at 55 °C (1.3 bar at 131 °F) are authorized, except for UN2672 (also see special provision IP8 in Table 2 for UN2672). Browse special provision IB3 T4 Minimum test pressure (bar) 2.65 Minimum shell thickness § 178.274(d)(2) Pressure-relief requirements Normal Bottom opening requirements § 178.275(d)(3) Browse special provision T4 TP1 The maximum degree of filling must not exceed the degree of filling determined by the following: Where: tr is the maximum mean bulk temperature during transport, and tf is the temperature in degrees celsius of the liquid during filling. Browse special provision TP1 TP29 A portable tank having a minimum test pressure of 1.5 bar (150.0 kPa) may be used provided the calculated test pressure is 1.5 bar or less based on the MAWP of the hazardous materials, as defined in §178.275, where the test pressure is 1.5 times the MAWP.

(9) Quantity Limits (9A) Passenger aircraft/rail 60 L (9B) Cargo aircraft only 220 L
(10) Vessel stowage (10A) Location A Stowage category “A” means the material may be stowed “on deck” or “under deck” on a cargo vessel or on a passenger vessel. Source: 49 CFR §172.101(k) (10B) Other n/a
