Oil tanks are often painted silver to reflect sunlight and minimize heat absorption. This helps to reduce the temperature of the tank's contents, which can prevent pressure build-up and reduce the risk of volatile reactions. Additionally, the reflective surface can help reduce corrosion and extend the lifespan of the tank by protecting the underlying material from UV damage.
