I thought if it was over 75 gallons you needed it placarded? But, do you need it placarded if you're not going the whole DOT route? In other words. Say you are completely non commercial (I know, hard to be so, but just bear with me here) and pulling your trailer. Would a DOT guy be able to tag you for a Commercial Vehicle law if you were for sure completely non-commercial?

Okay, back to the original post. If the limit is 75 gallons you could get a 60 gallon saddle tank like I've got. And, it's kind blurry there too. Because the always put the filler neck off to the side a bit so you can't possibly fill it to the top since they want some air up there. Are we sure you can't use aluminum?
