Looking for water storage tank props

Hi, one thing that's abundant in Australia after 10 years of drought are water storage tanks (another thing is flooding right down the east coast, but that's a different matter). Also called rainwater tanks, 'cos they are usually connected to gutter/spouting to collect rainwater.

There are tanks of various shapes/sizes, from domestic ones in the hundred/thousands of litre capacity right up to megalitre storage tanks used by sporting fields, schools, car wash joints and Bunnings. They may be made from PVC, corrugated steel/aluminium, or plate steel, often painted green. Almost all are cylindrical and placed on the ground (or a concrete slab). Some examples (sorry easier than linking pics):

I'm looking for props for these. I've been through my set (Maxis and many of the BSC prop packs) but can't seem to find any. Anyone know of any around? Or do I need to remember how to BAT?

I can't think of any others off hand. I know there were a few oil ones, but they had company names on them (which wouldn't suggest they were filled with water). I did make one, but kept it for personal uses because I couldn't quite get the top texture the way I wanted it. You can see it here (link) in picture 25.07. Either the GMax model or the exported model are yours if you want them. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Thanks Matt, but they're way too big for what I'm after.

SG did a series, but they were water towers for cities I think so probably too large.  I'm pretty sure they're on the DVD as I have them.
