Can u carry a diesel can with diesel in it in the cargo compartment? And is their a limit it?

Last night I ran out of diesel I was short about 15 miles to the next truck stop and I was wondering if u can carry diesel in a can and carry it in the cargo compartment?
I was thinking about buying like a 5 gallon can or 2 smaller ones but I wanted to ask before I do
Thanks

 

I know i didnt completly run out i stoped the truck and turned it off b4 the fuel pump started to suck air I had maybe 1gallon in there I have a 2011 Volvo and it tells me in the dash the amount of gallons in the tank so that's why I wanted to know if u can carry diesel in a can and carry it in the cargo compartment?

 

I have taken off with the same amount of fuel and I have made it before with no issues so that's why I thought I was going to be good my plan was to buy fuel at the truck stop that was 16miles away I guess I was not taking into account the wind

 

We haul containers from the port so sometimes it is sealed and sometimes it's an empty to get loaded but why would the sealed trailer be an issue?

 

Thanks yea I do have my Hazmat and I did a little research but couldn't find anything in regards to a diesel can but I'm going to do the same and carry a 5gallon diesel Can
thanks
