Any vehicle traveloing on a public right of way transporting more than 500Kg
weight of flamable liquid MUST be placarded and it's operator in possessiopn
of a Hazzardous Materials Certificate.
In you r caase the placard would have to be one for bulk transport, that is
the one with the UN number in the middle of the placard.
If it is for methanol it is classed as a flamable, if it is for biodiesel,
technnical word methyl esters, it is NOT classed as such and you may
transpor it with placarding, although double check with the local
state/provincial police about that as they may have changed the rules. Tell
them it is "Methyl Esters" not biodiesel.

Doug.
I think transporting 500gal (3,000lbs) of flammable material would also
require a commercial drivers license with Haz-Mat and liquid material
endorsements. Personal use would not exempt you. However, I think farm use
is still exempt.

Hi,
I had something similar to that, still have the tank but, the under
carriage was liberated for another project. My 500 G. tank was used as
an
overhead diesel storage tank on a farm and was bought at an auction,
probably less than $100 in the entire project. Problem with those farm
tanks, no baffling. I would assume a vehicle transporting 400-500 gallons
of flammable liquid would have to placarded
