Number of gallons stored
Explosive vs flammable
how it`s afixed to truck
Place card afixed meeting all DOT requirements
How it`s supplying truck fuel system or just for transfer
Ground connection for filling
thickness of tank material
Roll over valve on tank
fuel has to be drawn from the top
NOT the bottom cause if you have a leak your exhaust is a source of ignition, w/diesel it`s "oh crap what a mess to clean up"
with the gas ones I don`t think your allowed to have a drain plug on the bottom in some states, could be wrong about that.
with diesel they don`t care if it`s an open five gallon bucket and you just throw it at the fuel tank to transfer it.
Farmers are exempt as long as it`s for your equipment use, OK OK those guys get away with everything I`m planting corn in my back yard tomorrow and putting on a straw hat, think of the tax savings.
This is what they worried about if you crash and role over and your 110 gallon tank breaks loose from the truck. I think you could imagine the fire ball. Diesel not so much or not at all.
