The exception to this would be on board a Washington State Ferry. Maximum gasoline container size is 6 gallons, with 12 gallons total. .....
There are very few ferries of any sort on the dry side of our state

Pretty sure it's just CYA language. The pumps approved for gas. There are also DOT regs but those apply to tanks over about 120 gallons.
Looking at tanks that are approved for gas, the only difference I see is a cutout so the pump sits in a recess. Likely that's to keep the pump from breaking off in a roll-over. I only haul gas between the gas station and the airport or home, mostly and that's only a few miles of city streets so low potential for a roll-over besides the pickup cab does a good job of shielding the pump. My only issue is minor leaking where the pump screws to the tank. I need a better gasket/seal. Otherwise it works great. This is the second truck and tank I've owned. Been hauling and pumping mogas for almost 20 years. At 150 hours x 10gph x $2.5/gal savings, that's $3,750 per year, or $75k I've saved over 20 years. It's paid for the cost of a plane!
