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 are rainwater tanks made out of?

Rainwater tanks are typically made from a variety of materials, including plastic (polyethylene), steel, concrete, and fiberglass. Plastic tanks are lightweight and resistant to corrosion, while steel tanks are durable and often coated to prevent rust. Concrete tanks offer structural strength and thermal stability, but they can be heavier and more challenging to install. Fiberglass tanks are also corrosion-resistant and lightweight, making them a versatile option.

Can you use Fibreglass water tanks for diesel storage?

Fibreglass water tanks are generally not recommended for diesel storage due to potential chemical compatibility issues. Diesel can degrade the resin used in fibreglass tanks, leading to leaks or contamination. For diesel storage, it's better to use tanks specifically designed for fuel, such as those made of steel or high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which are built to withstand the properties of diesel and prevent leaks. Always check local regulations and guidelines for fuel storage to ensure compliance.
