    Does that really have hazmat in it? Reason I ask is if not you better cover those placards up.

    Yea I don’t think so. You have to reach a certain weight first.

    If not cleaned out still needs placards on it. Truck does not but tank does

    Copied:

    If the tanks are “sufficiently cleaned of residue and purged of vapors to remove any potential hazard”, then no HazMat exists, placards are not required.

    You are correct sir.

    They all had a few gallons sloshing around in them. My question was whether or not I needed UN 1993 Class 3 placards on the truck, but 3 sources confirmed straight class 3 was ok.

    I even followed the HM routes so I didn’t turn up in another thread :)

    I have a .22 conversion slide for the .45 Kimber that I practice speed drawing and shooting with, unfortunately I was left with my pants down when this drama tightened up ammo supply.

    Haven’t shot in a while, just needed a box from a friend to have in case the zombies appear.
