(b) This Section shall not be construed to include the carrying of motor fuel in the supply tank of a vehicle when said supply tank is regularly connected with the carburetor of the engine of the vehicle, if said vehicle is operated by a franchise carrier engaged solely in the transportation of passengers to, from and between points in North Carolina, or if said supply tank has a capacity of one hundred (100) gallons or less.
(c) Any person violating any of the provisions of this Section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not more than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each offense."
