Are tanks waterproof?

no, gas tanks are not airtight. In fact, the older ones wouldnt work if they were as the gas comes out of the tank on gravity alone. It would have the same effect as filling a straw with water and then putting your finger over the top.

Can tanks run on water?

Can a tank drive under water?

Are tanks air tight in CBRN environments?
