I took this shot a while back while stopped at a light. Just kind of caught my attention. This was on a local government agency work truck.

Yeah, that'll get you a ticket most places. Many cops don't understand the DOT rules.

Doesnt look strapped/chained.. Some people will tell you it has to have the cap on too, but I've many examples of where that is not the case.

The regulator is connected. During transport they are required to have the metal valve protector cap screwed on.

If it turns over it can bust the regulator off and that tank will become a missile.

I have some dot approved caps that allow the reg to be connected and still secured. At least that's what I was told. I'm the guy that lets my bottles roll around in the back of the truck

Looks like they have one on there, just not used at the time.


Also, they could have a floor mounted bottle rack we cant see..
