Oil tanks are large containers for storing petroleum products—crude oil, heating oil, or fuel.
They range from small residential tanks for home heating to massive industrial storage facilities at refineries and ports.
The term also describes the fuel reservoirs in vehicles and machinery: The ship's oil tanks held enough for a transatlantic crossing.
