Gasoline, motor spirit and petrol for use in spark-ignition engines (e.g. in automobiles, stationary engines and other engines) shall be assigned to this entry regardless of variations in volatility.

While in some climatic conditions, petrol (gasoline) may have a vapour pressure at 50 °C of more than 110 kPa (1.10 bar) but not more than 150 kPa (1.50 bar) it is to continue to be considered as a substance having a vapour pressure at 50 °C of not more than 110 kPa (1.10 bar).

When substances under this entry are carried in fixed tanks (tank-vehicles) or demountable tanks, these tanks may be equipped with additive devices. Additive devices: - are part of the service equipment for dispensing additives of UN 1202, UN 1993 packing group III, UN 3082 or non-dangerous substances during discharge of the tank; - consist of elements such as connecting pipes and hoses, closing devices, pumps and dosing devices which are permanently connected to the discharge device of the tank's service equipment; - include means of containment which are an integral part of the shell, or permanently fixed to the exterior of the tank or tank-vehicle. Alternatively, additive devices may have connectors for connecting packagings. In this latter case, the packaging itself is not considered part of the additive device. The following requirements shall apply depending on the configuration: (a) Construction of the means of containment: (i) As an integral part of the shell (e.g. a tank compartment), they shall meet the relevant provisions of Chapter 6.8. (ii) When permanently fixed to the exterior of the tank or to the tank-vehicle, they are not subject to the construction provisions of ADR provided they comply with the following provisions: They shall be made of a metallic material and comply with the following minimum wall thickness requirements: Material Minimum wall thickness *) Austenitic stainless steels 2.5 mm Other steels 3 mm Aluminium alloys 4 mm Pure aluminium of 99.80% 6 mm *) For means of containment made with double walls, the aggregate thickness of the outer metal wall and the inner metal wall shall correspond to the wall thickness prescribed. Welding shall be carried out in accordance with the first paragraph of 6.8.2.1.23, except that other suitable methods may be applied to confirm the quality of the welding. (iii) Packagings which are connectable to the additive device shall be metal packagings and meet the relevant construction requirements of Chapter 6.1, as applicable for the additive concerned. (b) Tank approval For tanks equipped or intended to be equipped with additive devices, where the additive device is not included in the original type approval of the tank, the provisions of 6.8.2.3.4 shall apply. (c) Use of means of containment and additive devices (i) In case of (a) (i) above, no additional requirements. (ii) In case of (a) (ii) above, the total capacity of the means of containment shall not exceed 400 litres per vehicle. (iii) In case of (a) (iii) above, 7.5.7.5 and 8.3.3 shall not apply. The packagings may only be connected to the additive device during discharge of the tank. During carriage, the closures and connectors shall be closed so as to be leaktight. (d) Testing for additive devices The provisions of 6.8.2.4 shall apply to the additive device. However, in case of (a) (ii) above, at the time of the initial, intermediate or periodic inspection of the tank, the means of containment of the additive device shall only be subject to an external visual inspection and a leakproofness test. The leakproofness test shall be carried out at a test pressure of at least 0.2 bar. NOTE: For the packagings described in (a) (iii) above, the relevant provisions of ADR shall apply. (e) Transport document Only the information required in accordance with 5.4.1.1.1 (a) to (d) needs to be added to the transport document for the additive concerned. In this case, the remark "additive device" shall be added to the transport document. (f) Training of drivers Drivers who have been trained in accordance with 8.2.1 for carriage of this substance in tanks need no additional training for the carriage of the additives; (g) Placarding or marking Placarding or marking of the fixed tank (tank-vehicle) or demountable tank for the carriage of substances under this entry in accordance with Chapter 5.3 is not affected by the presence of an additive device or the additives contained therein.

Additional requirements concerning the carriage of flammable liquids or gases (1) Portable lighting apparatus The load compartment of closed vehicles carrying liquids having a flash-point of not more than 60 °C or flammable substances or article of Class 2, shall not be entered by persons carrying portable lighting apparatus other than those so designed and constructed that they cannot ignite any flammable vapours or gases which may have penetrated into the interior of the vehicle. (2) Operation of combustion heaters during loading or unloading The operation of combustion heaters of vehicles of type FL (see Part 9) is forbidden during loading and unloading and at loading sites. (3) Precautions against electrostatic charges In the case of vehicles of type FL (see Part 9), a good electrical connection from the vehicle chassis to earth shall be established before tanks are filled or emptied. In addition, the rate of filling shall be limited.

The provisions of Chapter 8.4 concerning the supervision of vehicles shall apply when the total mass or volume of these substances in the vehicle exceeds 10 000 kg as packaged goods or more than 3 000 litres in tanks.
