Would 500 gallon tanks on trailers be an option? There are quite
a few pictures of those online.
5T is 10,000 pounds.
500 gallons is 2000 pounds. Tthat leaves 8000 pounds for the truck.
Seems reasonable if 8000 pound trucks exist.
A Nissan Frontier weighs in at about 3,500 pounds.
Towing capacity 6,500 pounds. So a running gear with a tank
would need to be 4,500 pounds or less.
Another catch is that it's a felony to transport more than 600 or
800 pounds without a special license.
So it has to be a hazardous materials licensed driver and an 8000
pound truck.
I wonder if that applies to individuals hauling their own stuff.

Yes, it does.
