I have posted this several times on here and still some of these guys are way off on there advise.
So here goes again. For the average Joe;
Diesel fuel; Diesel fuel is not regulated by DOT in containers less than 119 gallons. So as long as you use containers less than 119 gallons you can haul as much as you want. All of these slip in pickup bed tanks are rated for diesel only.
Gasoline; Gasoline is a different story. Gasoline is regulated in any quantity so you need to follow DOT haz-mat rules to haul any gasoline. To allow people to haul gasoline home or at work the DOT has made a exemption for small quantities of different haz-mat materials. They call these rules The Materials of Trade rules. For gasoline it must be in a approved container listed in 173.6(b)(4) and 173.202 of the haz-mat rules. This says the container must be approved plastic or metal; be red; and have the word "gasoline" on the container. The container can not be over 8 gallons in size. And you can not haul over 440 lbs in total at one time including the weight of the containers. That equates to about 50 gallons if you use plastic jugs.
Anything above what I have listed above requires Shipping papers Emergency response information Formal training in the transportation of hazardous materials and many other things.
So this is the rules. It is now up to you if you follow them or not.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
