Easy ride to the dump station
Found a lazy man's way to haul the honey wagon to the dump station far, far away.
It is a Dumb-Stick bicycle tow bar attached to your bicycle seat post.
Picture shows it attached to my Schwinn. My seat post was a touch to big so I had to ream out the hole a bit ....
Pulls just fine empty or loaded. The Dumb-Stick advertizes to haul kayaks.

Did you check the tow rating of that bike ? LOL. Looks like you can give rides on tank also

Not only that but I do not see clearence lights or turn signals on the TB, or DT, I wouldn't think you would have to have a CDL for that outfit . Definetly an easy way to go if using a portable dump tank.........

All he needs to do is add airbags and he'll be fine. Yeah, I know, the load police will jump all over him because he doesn't have the stopping power for that trailer.
On a serious note, I have the Barker 30 which doesn't have front wheels. And a full 30 gallons would be quite a hard pull on a bike. The OP's tote looks to be even larger.

It doesn't matter what he adds, he can never change THE STICKER.

Sway Control???? You get that much poop swishing from side to side and there's got to be a "controlability issue" Not to mention load distribution. Hmmm I wonder if Hensley makes a hitch for this application?

Now I know what they mean when they say "The dirty end of the dumb stick" or something like that. (Another one of those "Why didn't I think of that???"
Keep on truckin'

Want to have a shock sometime ask how much it cost to have that dumped if you leave it behind. If someone other than the owner has to do the job it's concidered hazzardous waste and has been known to cost several thousand dollars. Just imagine you get asked to leave for whatever reason and you decide to take your full tank and stand it on end in your camp spot on your way out with the cover off. Ask a campground owner what they charge to clean it up it's whatever they can get from your credit card

Have you checked rating on those tires? Wouldn't want one of those blowing on you.... Make sure you keep it under 65mph...

So that's why people carry bikes in their toyhaulers.
