John, that is only the MSDS - basically spelling out the hazards of handling, precautions needed, chemical properties, and PPE needed. It is NOT the DOT rules on transportation.
FYI - I did go to hazmat training several times over the years, until I finally gave up my hazmat endorsement. What has already been stated by another poster is correct - that is, 1000 pounds or more needs to be placarded. Placards REQUIRE a CDL. Even in a Smart car - if you could get 1000 pounds of hazmat into one. There are also limitations on container size and labeling. This has no direct relationship to the MSDS requirements. They are two different sets of regulations enforced by two different agencies.
FACT - Diesel fuel IS combustible. It is therefore a regulated hazardous material. Period.
FACT - As a hazardous material, there are TWO sets of regulations to be considered. OSHA is the regulating agency for workplace hazards. That pertains ONLY to storage and handling of the material according to its MSDS. DOT regulates the transportation of hazardous materials. Different agency, different rules. DOT specifies the allowed container sizes, labeling of containers, and transportation of those containers.
FACT - Transportation of ANY hazardous material over 1000 pounds requires full compliance with DOT rules. That means placards to communicate the potential risks and hazards to emergency personnel.
FACT - There are heavy penalties for violation of hazmat rules. Be advised that it is best to contact the DOT in your area to get the FACTS on what the rules are rather than to pronounce something legal that could get another person into trouble.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
