Features And Types Of Liquid Storage Tanks
A floating roof is required in some storage tanks in addition of the fixed roof and structure. This floating roof rises and falls with the liquid level inside the tank and are considered a safety requirement as well as a pollution controlling step for many industries including petroleum refining.
There are two categories of roof tanks, fixed roof tanks and floating roof tanks. Let's discuss both of them in brief:
Fixed roof tanks are meant for liquids with very high flash points like fuel oil, water, bitumen etc. These tanks are similar to dome roofs, cone roofs and umbrella roofs tanks. These are insulated to prevent the blockage of certain materials, wherein the heat is provided by steam coils within the tanks.
Floating roof tanks are broadly divided into external floating roof tanks also known as floating roof tanks and internal floating roof tanks. These tanks are nothing but cone roof tanks with a floating roof inside which travels up and down along with the liquid level and they are used for liquids with low flash-points
Other Types of tank
Milk tank or Bulk tank: These storage tanks are used for cooling and holding milk at a cold temperature until it can be picked up by a milk hauler. Usually made of stainless steel, these tanks are considered as one of the important milk farm equipments.
Mobile storage tanks- These tanks are not similar to storage tanks, however they share many of the same features of storage tanks. A number of such tanks include LNG carriers; railroad tank cars; and the road and highway traveling tankers and ocean-going oil tankers. Holding tanks can also be considered as mobile storage tanks. These tanks are used to store waste on RVs and boats.

Can I buy a tank and drive it on the freeway?
well not like the guy you saw on the news chased by cops. I remember hearing that its legal to drive a tank on public road if you get a permet and have rubber tracks. I don't know if that was in the USA or in England but I do recall watching a guy on tv drive a tank in England to work. If so you can buy a tank from russia (t-34) for about 10,000 bucks. Just the same price for a used car. hmmm. No one would dare try to cut you off. So does anyone know if this is legal???? Oh if your intrested in the russian tank here is the site : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/01/21/warms21.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/01/21/ixworld.html
BTW: I would not drive a tank if it was legal or not, but just wonderig if the rumor is true.
UK answer.
Yup, so long as you replace the tracks with rubber ones (so it's not a 'tracklaying vehicle') and avoid the weak bridges then you're fine.
It needs to be taxed, insured and MoT-ed, just like any other vehicle.
Also, I would suggest you have a person on the top telling the driver what's happening around the tank, and put signs on it warning about the driver's low visibility.
The gun needs to be clearly deactivated. This is not a driveing law, but a firearms law, and the police will give you a few nights in cells and some interragation for not complying.
