Can a skid mounted fuel tank be used for transportation of diesel?

A skid mounted fuel tank is typically designed for stationary use and is not intended for transportation. Regulations regarding the transportation of hazardous materials, including diesel fuel, require that tanks be mounted on a vehicle that is roadworthy and designed for such tasks. This is because skid mounted tanks lack the necessary features for safe transport, such as proper securing mechanisms, wheel assemblies, and stability during transit.

In contrast, options indicating that proper securing methods or certification would allow for such transportation overlook the fundamental design limitations of skid mounted tanks. While certification is important for safety compliance, it does not change the tank's intended use. The requirement for tanks to be wheeled or self-propelled ensures that they can safely navigate road conditions and mitigate spill or release risks during transport. Thus, the emphasis on design and purpose aligns with transportation safety regulations, making the assertion that skid mounted tanks cannot be used for transportation accurate.
