I've been using a 30 gal. poly drum mounted in a pallet frame to pick up off road from my local heating oil distributor for about 9 months. They didn't question it and nobody else has either. I'm not clear on what all the fuss would be about, since diesel isn't explosive like gasoline. Of course, if you were in a wreck and the drum ruptured there'd be a mess to clean up, but not any worse than my truck's 44 gal gas tank. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
