Several sources indicate that strong acids or strong
oxidizers are incompatible with gasoline and that vigorous
reactions, ignition, and/or explosion may be expected. The
NFPA specifically notes such events when chlorine, fluorine,
or magnesium perchlorate are mixed with hydrocarbons.
REACTIVITY
Gasoline is considered a miscellaneous combustible or
flaamaable material for compatibility classification
purposes. Such substances typically evolve heat, fire, and
toxic or flammable gases in reactions with oxidizing mineral
acids, alkali or alkaline earth elemental metals, nitrides,
organic peroxides or hydroperoxides, or strong oxidizing
agents. Reactions with explosive materials may result in an
explosion, while those with strong reducing agents may
evolve heat and flammable gaseo. Non-oxidizing mineral
acids generally evolve heat and innocuous gases
