Driver (CDL) - Disabled Motor Vehicles

When a leak in a cargo tank makes further transportation unsafe, the tank should be removed from the traveled portion of the highway, the leaking material contained to prevent contamination of streams and sewers, and all sources of ignition eliminated. It is important to use all available means to prevent leakage or spillage on the highway.

Unless the tank or compartment of a motor vehicle is gas-free, no repairs using flame may be performed when transporting Class 3 or Division 6.1 materials.
