Multiple Choice

Which of the following are examples of Class 3 flammable liquids?

Class 3 flammable liquids are defined by having a flash point below 60°C (140°F), meaning they can form ignitable vapors at relatively low temperatures. Gasoline has a flash point well below freezing, acetone also has a very low flash point, and diesel fuel sits around 52°C. Since all three have flash points under 60°C, they all fit the Class 3 category. That’s why the complete set—gasoline, diesel fuel, and acetone—is the correct answer. In real-world handling, this classification means these liquids require strict ignition-source control, proper storage in approved containers, good ventilation, and appropriate spill response to prevent fires.
