Any hazmat above the minimum (which a saddle tank full would definitely be) would need to be placarded, and the driver would need to have a hazmat endorsement. Whether the tank is strapped in (in the case of a drum) or permanently mounted would make no difference if the fuel is not for the engine of the truck or a generator. I have heard of racers getting busted for transporting drums of fuel with no placarding.
If the tank is not marked you may never get caught, but if they do catch you hazmat violation fines are very expensive. Some states do fuel checks to make sure there is no untaxed diesel in the tanks, and I can imagine the d.o.t. guy not being amused to find race gas in there instead of diesel.
