I believe you could get cited on FMCSR §393.104 (c) Vehicle structures and anchor points. You fender is not designed to be used as a tie down point. How if you have a tray install or brackets mounted to allow for items to be tied down you most likely would meet all requirements.
Can I strap my spillkit on catwalk with bungie cords?

It's not tied down to the fender. It sits in the fender but is strapped to the long enclosed hose storage tube beside it.

All of the regs quoted apply to cargo securement. I would think that if something's not on the BOL, it's not considered cargo and therefore not subject to the requirements.

I haul containers and use a bungee on some of the front locks to hold the lock locked. would the DOT not accept this? Its like a scissor lock so when its pulled outwards its locked, then a bar goes over the top of it. But when you bounce down the road the bar jumps up and down causing the lock to be unsecured over bumps.
