Transporting WVO = hazmat?

Say you've got a 100 gallon vessel in the bed of your truck...

You go to a WVO source and fill 'er up gratis, of course...no receipts, no monetary exchange.
On the ride home a deer (!@$%) runs out in front of you and you wreck...spilling the WVO all over the place and into wildlife preserve.
Since the WVO wasn't being used as a fuel just yet...the liability normally incurred for just the #2 spilled from your fuel tank has now been extended to include the WVO.

How likely is it that you'd be in trouble for transporting a hazardous material?
