description The present invention relates to the use of hydrocarbonrich gels as a safe storage or transportation form for liquid hydrocarbons and to a process for the safe storage and safe transportation of liquid hydrocarbons. In the process according to the invention, the hydrocarbon is converted into a hydrocarbonrich gel by addition of a surfactant and water. After storage or transportation has taken place, the hydrocarbon-rich gel is broken down again. The surfactant and water are preferably added to the hydrocarbon in amounts such that a hydrocarbon-rich gel of 70 to 99.5% by weight of hydrocarbon, 0.01 to 15% by weight of surfactant and 0.49 to 15% by weight of water is formed. The gels are distinguished by a flow limit, which means that although they can be pumped in a simple manner, they cannot flow in the state of rest and therefore cannot be accidentally discharged from defective storage or transportation tanks, thus considerably reducing environmental hazards due to storage or transportation of hydrocarbons.
