==Description==
The [[Portable Tank]] is used to store gasses. It has a higher volume than the Gas [[Canister]] or [[Gas Canister (Smart)]].

The "standard pressure" when spawned is defined as 8106 kPa, or 80 Earth Atmospheres. The maximum pressure for the tank is 10.132 MPa, or 100 atmospheres. Overpressurizing the tank will cause it to explode. Once the maximum pressure is reached the tank starts taking damage until it bursts. This allows the [[Portable Tank]] to exceed the pressure rating temporarily.

==Usage==
The [[Portable Tank]] can be connected/disconnected to pipe networks using a [[Tank Connector]], by placing the tank on the connector and then interacting with it using a [[Wrench]]. It can also be connected (and disconnected) to the [[Rover]] and [[Lander]], with one [[Portable Tank]] of Oxygen nnormally spawwning on the latter.

The front of the tank features a striped area where a Gas [[Canister]] or [[Gas Canister (Smart)]] can be inserted for refilling (equalising the pressure in both canisters). There is also a variable flow rate valve on the top of the tank that can be used to vent the tank to atmosphere (or into a sealed room). Note that this valve does not need to be opended when connected to a Tannk COnnector, but the setting of the valve remains peresistant between connection and disconnection.

==Notes==
* If you need higher pressure (and thus higher capcity) canisters, consider using [[Gas Canister (Smart)]], which have visible display of tank pressure and a pressure capacity twice that of the standard Gas [[Canister]].
