b.Partial loads cannot legally cross state lines
c.There is no difference in handling
d.Liquid surge is greater, making the vehicle harder to control

With a partially filled tank, the liquid has room to move and create surge. This surge can affect braking, acceleration, and turning, and may even shove the vehicle in the direction the liquid is moving. A full tank has far less room for the liquid to surge.
