(a)(1) All users except suppliers of distillate special fuel who maintain their own storage tanks in the state are required to have a separate storage tank for taxable distillate special fuel other than dyed distillate special fuel, which tanks are to be physically separate and apart from any other tanks or fueling units, and to indicate it by placing thereon in a conspicuous place the words “TAX-PAID FUELS” in letters not less than five inches (5") high.
(2) Suppliers are required to collect the tax on all distillate special fuel delivered into those tanks.
