Motor fuel liquids in portable containers cannot be dispensed into which type of tanks?

Motor fuel liquids in portable containers cannot be dispensed into portable tanks, cargo tanks, or stationary tanks due to safety regulations and potential risks involved in handling and storing flammable materials.

Portable tanks are often used for safe transport and storage of hazardous materials, but dispensing directly from a portable container could lead to spills or leaks, undermining their intended purpose. Cargo tanks are designed to transport liquids over large distances, and transferring fuel into these tanks from portable containers poses significant risks of overfilling or incorrect handling, which can result in environmental hazards or fire risks. Similarly, stationary tanks are fixed installations intended for the secure storage of fuel; mixing the two methods of storage can lead to contamination or uncontrolled release of flammable materials.

Overall, the regulations set forth aim to prevent accidents, environmental contamination, and ensure safe handling practices.
