Title
Alcohols, Ethers and Gasoline-Alcohol and -Ether Blends A Report on Fire-Safety Considerations at Petroleum Marketing Facilities
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1996
Scope:
1 Scope
This publication examines the fire safety considerations for fuels at
petroleum marketing facilities. It focuses on gasoline blended with
oxygenates, and M85, but also includes neat alcohols and ethers since
they may be present at terminals and bulk plants for blending
purposes. Diesel fuels and "clean" or reformulated diesel fuels are
not addressed. Current reformulated gasolines are included within the
scope of this report.
This publication is not an API recommended practice for handling these
fuels, nor is it intended to be a primer on fuel marketing operations
fire-safety. Readers not already familiar with recommended practices
for gasoline handling and storage fire-safety should obtain and review
the appropriate API and NFPA publications cited in Section 2 before
reading this report. This publication does not address health
considerations associated with use or exposure to these fuels.
Figure 1 illustrates the portion of the gasoline marketing system
covered in this report.
