The definition of a battletank, is gun and armor. Remove the gun, and you have an armored personnel carrier. Remove the armor, and you have a self propelled gun (Artillery). Combine them both=battletank. it is made from metal. The same holds true for the battleship; from which the tank was derived; (The tank was designed by naval architects in 1915, utilized naval terms: hull, bow machinegun, turret, back deck, hatches, etc. and were called LANDSHIPS). The definition of a battleship is gun and armor. Remove the gun(s), and you have an armored ship. Leave the gun(s), but remove the armor, and you have a heavy cruiser. Combine them both=battleship. The first cannons (guns) to be installed in the first battle tanks were Naval guns, as they were capable of being loaded/fired within a confined area, such as a turret. Army guns have traditionally been mounted upon wheels, and were always operated/fired in the open field; hence the name, Field Guns.

What is a frac tank?

A frac tank is used to hold water, or a proppant, when a well is being fractured. The material is held in a frac tank and connected by a hose or pipeline to a pump that will flow it down the wellbore at a high pressure to push open the formation and the proppant is used to keep it open. 21,000-gallon tank, 500 Barrels, for on-site storage of fluids. Also known as: mobile storage tank, portable tank, VE Tank, Baker Tank, Rhino Tank, Rain-for-Rent Tank, E-Tank Frac tank is basically a generic term for mobile steel storage tanks used to hold liquids. Typically used for fracing wells in the oil and gas industry, a frac tank may also be used to store any liquids like run-off water, diesel fuel, glycol, oils, waste products, etc. They are usually 21,000 gallon single wall steel tanks, but are also offered as double wall tanks by Gaurav Associates of India, AFC Tanks, VE Enterprises and Truck Center of Fort Worth Inc. These tanks have a single rear axle to be moved with a winch truck or tractor when empty. The major manufacturers of frac tanks are Gaurav Associates, AFC Tanks, VE Enterprises, Dragon, and Wichita. Alpha Tanks and VE Enterprises make heated Frac Tanks that may be used in cold climates where regular Frac Tanks freeze. Heated water also improves the effectiveness of the fracturing process.
