Yes haz mat rules for class 3 start at tank sizes of 119 gals or 1001 lbs as it pertains to placards. We may be missing each other because you are talking placards and I am talking labels and proper containers.
There are exemptions for onboard fuel tanks such as your 37 gallon gas tank or a 150 gallon saddle diesel tank. I am talking load or portable tanks.
Diesel rules allow as much as your truck bed can legally carry as long as you stay with containers smaller than 119 gallons. But put one container of 119 gallons and we are in haz-mat rules.

I fill it with gasoline and haul it home. I have just broken the haz-mat rules. Look at the link from the federal DOT. It says any container with gasoline under 8 gallons needs to be marked gasoline or flammable liquids. The yellow cans say diesel. A container of gasoline larger than 8 gallons needs a label with the UN numbers 1203 on it.
Ask your old partner to ask someone from the haz-mat team. Most regular DOT officers do not get taught this because they target CMV’s.

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
