If transporting flammable materials, do not use warning signals that could cause your cargo to catch fire.
14 . Carrying liquids in a leaking tank:
Is acceptable if you are running behind schedule.
When inspecting any style of tank, the most important thing for a driver to check for is leaks. Transporting any type of gas or liquid in a leaking tank is illegal.
