They're different.

"Should" implies a moral and superiority judgment on the part of one's
self-appointed betters.

"Probably" is a dispassionate evaluation of the circumstances by a logical
mind.

Could just indicate indecision.

Unless it's just indecision.
Anyway, I avoided both words - until now (-:
A friend would sometimes answer a question with "Maybe I might."
He just couldn't make up his mind.

Looking for the law, as far as I can see, California regulates "cargo
tanks" which are defined as being over 120 gallons in capacity:

I just can't find a law in California for transportation of 5-gallon
portable gasoline containers in the trunk of a car yet.
