    Driving a straight tank truck loaded with 4400 gallons of #2 heating oil or diesel. Placarded "1993". Does anybody know what the tunnel restrictions are in Baltimore, MD. Finding it very hard to get an answer.

    I believe you are banned as it's flammable.
    I see the signs posted on the north side of I95 before getting to the tunnels
