49 CFR 383.5
Tank vehicle means any commercial motor vehicle that is designed to transport any liquid or gaseous materials within a tank or tanks having an individual rated capacity of more than 119 gallons and an aggregate rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that is either permanently or temporarily attached to the vehicle or the chassis. A commercial motor vehicle transporting an empty storage container tank, not designed for transportation, with a rated capacity of 1,000 gallons or more that is temporarily attached to a flatbed trailer is not considered a tank vehicle.
FMCSA HQ has indicated that the Tank endorsement would extend to a driver transporting bulk totes with individual rated capacities of more than 119 gallons, and an aggregate capacity over 1,000 gallons, in a box van and secured with bars, straps, etc.

What if you have fuel tanks that are larger than 119 Gallons. Are they going to make you have a Tanker endorsement if your tanks are 150 each.
