I carry a 135 gal slip tank of diesel in my truck. Will it be a problem crossing into the US with it? Is there something a guy should make sure to check out down there? Was figuring checking out some of the sporting goods stores. Figure it'll be a day trip.

I take it the canuckistan feds will tax me? Does it matter if the fuel I got in it is colored?

Rather then risk anything I'll leave my tank at home.
