Of what metal is the tank constructed?

I would say that it is steel as heavy as it isIt is steel constructed, good for topping off low tires and airing up basketballs oe footballs. Marginal if trying to air up an auto flat tire, depending on their size. I have several things I used it most on -- like the riding mower, wheel barrow, anything with baloon tires around the home.

Tank is of welded steel construction. Very sturdy. If you are considering this tank, please read, if you have not already, the comments concerning some minor adaptations that make the unit even easier to use. Addition of a longer hose, I used this Goodyear EP 46511 with some quick connect brass fittings, makes for a great tank.

I am not sure I think steel like most compressors. It works fine since I put a new hose and quick coupler for use more than to fill just tires.

I'm sure it's steel. That's the normal material for such a tank. If it were stainless or aluminum, I'm sure they would make it known.

I am not 100% certain. I got this but it did not last long as family scoffed it. I am pretty sure it was metal.

Metal....aircraft grade aluminum. I think it is better than the plastic one.

Plastic. But it wears very well. Our water corrodes metal, so it's been better for us

I think it's metal. So far our squirrels haven't been able to beat the system, but I've heard that some squirrels can.

it's metal...and I love it. It's much much quieter than anything else I have tried. I get much more juice with much less waste. I'd buy one again!

It is a tubular metal. I don't know what kind of metal, but it is sturdy and stable.

The crimp on the hose & portion that pushes vale in on a standard tank are metal. The collar that screws onto the tank is plastic.

Metal now. It was previously plastic, but they redesigned it. I bought the new (metal triggered) unit about a week ago. I recommend it without reservation.

Yes, standard tank. If you live close to the beach, beware of rusting. We got ours in May and there is significant rust despite cover.

It's got both metal and plastic parts. It is so well made, and I would recommend this to anyone! My grandson just loves it. He's 2, and I can see him playing with this for years to come. Best toy I've ever bought.

A mix of metal and plastic. Some vehicles are mostly metal, but a few are largely plastic.The typical vehicle has a metal top and plastic base, with plastic features. The tank truck in ours had only a metal cab, with plastic tank and plastic base.

There are some plastic components but mostly metal. It seems well built and sturdy, much better than I expected for the price.

I don't remember if the tank was made by Hella - mine was a high quality plastic like the original though.

It's like this big hunk of cast aluminum I think. Definitely metal. It's not a cheap piece of plastic or anything like that.
