I would say nobody will touch it unless it is thoroughly cleaned out.

Lets face it, would you want to carry a tank with petrol or petrol fumes in your truck ?

I've posted plenty
Just seal the holes as best you can after airing it out for a while then wrap it in pallet wrap or strong cling film then bubble wrap it all up
If its sealed right and there's no liquid in it will be fine
A pallet is gonna cost £50 to post
