Good tanks, do more than hold and let the oil cool.
They keep water out, not only out but by release of the water vapor the hot oil boils off. And let water stay separate from the oil not being turned in a emulsion (mayonnaise) until it can vaporize away.
Prevent cavitation of the pump. The tank should not let a suction vortex form or otherwise provide air to the pump. This includes preventing air bubbles being put into the oil by the return line.
Propane tanks will work if plumbed correctly.
