Let me get this straight. With two decades in the petrochem business your answer to ignition hazards is "don't make sparks," and your answer to carcinogenic inhalation hazards is, "don't breath the fumes." Really? Are you joking?

Not to sound like a gen X-er, but all I can imagine is A) Texas, and B) the 70's, or perhhaps earlier. An 8-hour refresher may be in order.

Keep the ignition sources away (that means dont make sparks with the parts), and let it soak a while. When you are finished and the cleaning is over, put the gas in a separate can and store for the next cleaning job. Don't dump in the sewer or on the ground as this is environmentally unfriendly and illegal. Thanks for your time, and one last comment, the faster it works for you, the more dangers. Dont breathe the fumes from the gas you clean with or the fumes from the pump. It is loaded in benzene and very cancerous.
