Hauling diesel tote questions...

JDM5596

I will try to keep this concise.

1. If the tanks qualify as being part of a fuel system for the operation of equipment (and is not being used to transport flammable or combustible liquids for any other purpose) they are not subject to the HMR (Hazardous Materials Regulations).

2. In order for them to be considered part of the equipment fuel system (and not cargo tanks) they must meet all of the applicable requirements of 49CFR 393.65 and 393.67

The attached pdf files are PHMSA interpretations that are each pretty close to the same as your situation.

 

Finally somebody that truly understands what the situation is. Good work.

 

(c) Fuel tank installation. Each fuel tank must be securely attached to the motor vehicle in a workmanlike manner.

"workmanlike" ... seems like wiggle room.

 

Excellent !! Did you read ops post about the b.s. the co. is shoveling at him? I swear.......butt heads with degrees that are not even qualified to open the door.

Of course that's my interp. I never took well to threats. I can only appreciate a man telling me the job then standing back....... and if I make a mistake, let me know.....it won't happen again.

Micro managers suck!

 

Why don't you just find another company to work for if its that bad?

 

If I were you I would print those pdf files and share them with the company and your fellow drivers. You never know when they will come in handy. Which coil tubing outfit do you work for?
