Fuel Transfer Tanks

L-ENTERPRISES

What do you use and what are your regs in your area . It seems to really be different from one area to the next and we got yelled at by a Mass Dot cop last week for not flying a placard on a 90 gallon L-tank in a F-250 . We are reged in NH with that truck and comply with all state regs . Dot officer took down our DOT #'s and said next time we'll be put out of service .

Were you carrying gas or diesel in the tank?

Not sure what the laws are in those states, but here we just have to comply with federal regulations.

I would have asked him how many folks towing campers has he busted? How does he know that tank isnt your main tank? Maybe we should all have a placard on our vehicles since we are all moving flamable liquids? I can see the requirement of a placard if you hauling more that 200 gallons or so but i have even seen tanks that large in truck beds that were pulling campers.
