Hi, we are considering purchasing a purpose built fuel trailer which is essentially a trailer with a diesel fuel tank welded onto it. The trailer is registered and warranted. I know that there are also regulations regarding the fuel tank, and I'm not convinced that a normal standing fuel tank welded onto a trailer would meet these - would you be able to point me in the right direction with someone I could check this out with?
Thank you!

Hi there,
Information is a little hard to find but NZTA have some rules that it would be best to follow: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/driver-licences/getting-a-licence/licences-by-vehicle-type/transporting-dangerous-or-hazardous-goods/dangerous-goods-transported-as-tools-of-trade/
