We got into this discussion a few weeks ago. Even had a X DOT question my answers. He looked it up and I was correct so I will repeat it for you since you said "How can I legally"
Any thing you put gasoline in must be labeled. For less than 8 gallons the red can/plastic with the words gasoline on it will work. If the container is 8 gallons or over you need UN1203 labels on the containers. This is small container labels not placards that are used on the side of the truck.
If you transport 1000 lbs or more of gasoline or any flammable for that matter including the weight of the container you need to have flammable placards on the truck and need a CDL with a haz-mat endorsement. If the container is 119 gallons or more it is considered a bulk container. For this you need the placards with the 1203 UN number in the placard. These placards need to be in place if the container is full or empty and classed as last contained.
Your pickup mounted transfer tank has to be approved for gasoline and most are not. Most are only approved for diesel.
Then there is proper shipping papers; haz-mat compliance license and on and on.
While everyone comes into contact with gasoline on a daily bases and this gives us the feeling that it is a safe product; it is not. Gasoline is VERY flammable and just pouring it from one container to another container can allow it to catch on fire.
I respect your wanting to help but leave gasoline hauling to the guys that know how to do it.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
