can you transport diesel inside a suv in this container

I do, I have these cans for both Diesel and Gasoline and they do not leak liquid or fumes. Of course don't fill the containers to the point of overflowing and then get upset about the smell or leakage. Just fill it to the point where the top rounds over to the sides and all will be well. That also happens to be where the 5 gallon mark is when starting with an empty can.

I don't really know. I transport these cans in the trunk of my car. There is no odor if you don't get it on the outside of the can. It probably depends on the laws in your state.

I have without any problems, although I secure it to make sure it stays upright. If it were to roll over and depress the lever, it would pour out fuel.

The cans are made to keep the diesel inside them, if you are talking about transporting the cans from the fuel station to home, I wouldn't have a problem doing that. If you mean transporting the cans all the time I doubt I would do that. You are always going to spill a little diesel on them filling them up. I personally don't like the smell of diesel full time. I own a diesel truck and transport the cans in the back of it. That being said, they are a very well made can!

DOT requires extra bars, see: http://www.justritemfg.com/Products/Safety-Cans-and-Containers/

No as it probably would not build enough pressure for a diesel engine to run properly as it takes lots of pressure for the injectors to spray the fuel properly ! It will pump the diesel fuel ok but at about 6lb or a little more pressure is all !

No. It does not come in any container. If you want a container, you'll have to find one and buy it. If you find a nice one, please write me. For now, I use it on my glove compartment.

It is very large- awesome- but large. You will need at least an SUV to transport.

No, don't believe it can be used, as the fuel pressure is much higher for a diesel.

My guess is yes, as the specs state diesel is okay. But you should probably try to confirm that by looking up and reading the user guide for it or find the specs on Rules own website

Yes, they can. I don't recall the exact dimensions but ypu can absolutely transport them in a small SUV. By the way, it's a great bed!

Megan, it doesn't come with fuel in it already as it would be hazardous to transport. You will have to put your own fuel in it after you receive it which allows you to choose how much and what octane. Good luck and thanks for the chuckle! ;-)

This is a transfer tank not intended to incorporate with vehicle fuel system. It fills through the cap on the tank and typically one would remove fuel with either electric or manual pump. That does not mean that it cannot be done but it is not recommended.

I am not certain what you are asking but I carry mine in a minivan so it is in the passenger compartment. It is small so it will fit in small places and very stable so I don't think it will tip over or spill and the odor is minimal but noticable.

I have a Nissan Frontier, which has a built in channels to secure cargo into the bed of the truck. So, I tie it down with a cargo strap. This storage container is not designed to be attached to the truck bed itself.

We leave oil in the container for several uses. The oil compartment is non-removeable and non-submersible.

I use it for diesel but there should be no reason why you couldn't use it for Gasoline.

I put it inside a storage bag in the rear of my SUV. It depends on your specific vehicle which you did not reference in your question.

No you cannot. First, federal law prohibits the storage of fuel in anything other that the red gasoline containers. Second, there is no ventilation on the bottle so fumes would accumulate and could cause a dangerous explosive result.

You might be able to transport it in a mid sized car. It is kind of bulky but snaps shut so it won't open when moving.

I used it for gasoline storage and it works great. Google it and see if it approved for diesel fuel storage.
