According to the MSDS, Dawn has ethanol as an ingredient. Ethanol is combustible so Dawn becomes a flammable cargo when transported in bulk. Has anyone ever tried to ignite Dawn?
From what I can read of the ingredients, the only petroleum based product is a couple of " zene" components. But I'm no chemist, so I may have missed something in my translation of the ingredients.
Hank, like you, I think DOT guidelines for bulk storage and transportation may have confused the issue. In them, from what I can read, no hazard if transported in packaged configuration, but bulk transportation of more than 119 gallons requires placarding as a hazardous cargo.
