Throwback to the time I carried 20 gallons of phosphoric acid in the back of my Fiesta ST. In the words of our traffic department “That’s gotta be the fastest delivery vehicle we’ve ever loaded up”. ANd the 4x 5 gallon containers fit so snugly and perfectly.....it seemed intentional. Love this car.

No exhaust tip? Or is the angle just enough to hide it behind the diffuser/lip?

I wonder if that’s enough material to warrant a hazmat endorsement and/or a placard.

In the U.K. you should really have one for just the one container.

I think in the US you only have to have a placard if it’s in bulk, which I believe is any container with a volume greater 119 gallons.

We have U.K. and E.U. laws in the U.K.
E.U. law says that a sign be on display but not necessarily what it is,
where U.K. law says a sign be on display and if it’s hazardous a code for what it is be below it so the fire service are aware what it is should something happen.
We would even put a gases diamond on the car if we needed to urgently replenish our D size oxygen and/or entonox cylinders, even if it was just the one cylinder.

In the US we have the hazard triangle with the hazard group number and the UN number for the chemical (i.e. HCl > 10% is 1789). Like this:
Not sure what the rules are for non bulk chems, I dealt with bulk oil fields in my last job.

Some of ours are quite similar.
I can’t post pictures but here’s some from a signage company for an idea.

Ye’, it’s essentially what the product is, how to deal with the immediate risk, who to phone about how to handle and remove the risk and who is shipping the product.
The more information the emergency services can get the faster they can respond to it. Such as rather than a fire, ambulance or police service personnel turn up, find out what the product is and then look up how to deal with it. A member of the public calling it in can let all the emergency services who ahead of arrival what they are dealing with and respond accordingly.
