Steel tanks are used for fuel containment in large amounts. Most liquids stored in steel tanks are hazardous, combustible and flammable liquids. Steel tanks are often used by chemical facilities, bulk petroleum plants, government agencies, and farming operations.

Which is better Steel or aluminum dive tanks?

Steel has been used as a tank material since the begining of scuba diving. Extremely durable and useful as a tank material but steel rusts. Buy a steel tank, assume that over the life of the tank it will cost you for a few tank tumbles to remove interior rust. Pay more for a steel tank than an aluminum one. Steel will last (almost) forever if you take care of it. There are steel tanks still in service today that were originally manufactured in the 50s. Aluminium tanks came out in the 70s. It's a softer material, the walls of aluminum tanks are thicker, making them a little larger than steel tanks of the same capacity. The big advantage of aluminum is that it doesn't rust and it's less-expensive than steel. You can find aluminum tanks cheap, for $100-150.


What is dead tank?

A common term for a "knocked out tank". The term "destroyed tank" is often INCORRECTLY used, as no tank is totally destroyed unless it's either re-melted at the factory, or blown into scrap steel by a direct hit from an aerial 1,000 pound bomb. And it might take two hits from a 1,000 pounder to reduce a modern tank into scrap metal. So, the proper name is knocked out (out of action)...a dead tank.
