IF you broke the tank somehow fuel would leak, it would take a perfect situation to make it blow. An empty tank if more likely to blow than a full one or one with a descent amont of fuel. They are designed to withstand some damage. Just like when there is major natural gasleaks that they can't fix quickly, what do they do? LIGHT THEM ON FIRE! Safer that way. Don't worry about it. My family owns an Oil Company which granted, isn't as flammable as gasoline but same rules. What part of the country are you in? $21/hr seems low for tanker work.
Actually, I'm also considering going back to North Dakota to haul diesel. I don't know about the flashpoint differential but I've hardly thought about the danger of doing that.
I live in Michigan.
