An exclusion from tax on the "blended taxable fuel" mixture is provided in Treasury Regulations section 48.4081-1(c)(1)(ii) for minor blending if: during any calendar quarter the removal or sale of the mixture in aggregate by the blender is less than 400 gallons. The IRS Form is 720 and publication 510

Milk is considered Hazmat because in large quanities it would cause damage to the ecosystem harm streams etc. You don't have to report a diesel spill of say a gallon to the EPA (or here DEQ) unless it gets into the waterway then it's a big deal.

I was asking what states actually regulate the transport of waste vegetable oil, particularly in the quantities that most home bio producers transport( 40-55 gallons)...
I have an aux fuel tank on my truck, so I haul 56 gallons of fuel oil when "fully loaded".
This is not enough to qauntify me as a hazmat transport, even tho diesel IS a regulated material. Also it is not for commercial use or sell.....so I was trying to understand how the WVO used by a home brewer would fall into the offical "HAZMAT" catagory...

I don't know if this would make a difference but your aux fuel tank is (or should be) also DOT certified to safely carry fuel, it isn't like driving around with a full 55 gal drum of fuel in the bed of your truck.

Personally
I think that we should continue to be raped by the big oil companies and Government beuracracy instead of taking our energy needs into our own hands

IMO the government should PAY US for making our own and burning it... I probably use a full tank (35gallons) every week, so thats 1820 gallons a year, and if we take that further and say 1000 of the members here do the same thats 1.8 millions of diesel we free up for the good of the country and the economy!

And as far as I am concerned, the Internal Revenue Service can put their forms in a really illicite pipe and smoke it.
I have neither the money or the desire (at this point) to manufacture bio from WVO, but if I could, I sure would.
