Oil Tank — Detailed Guide
A large tank for oil
The Primitive Plus DLC for ARK: Survival Evolved adds the Oil Tank, a storage structure. The game calls it "A large machine that stores large amounts of oil." The ARK Wiki names Crude Oil and Organic Oil as the oils it is useful for storing, and it has room for up to 100 item stacks, whatever they weigh. The wiki dates it to Beta 1 of Primitive Plus.
Engram and recipe
Our records put the engram at level 57, with a cost of 5 engram points. The tank is built at the 
Construction Table (Primitive Plus) from:
- 75 Steel Ingot
- 25 Fresh Cement
A craft takes 3 seconds and gives 13.2 XP. One tank weighs 5 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 500.
Placing it
No foundation is needed: the wiki says the tank can be placed anywhere and fills a 1x2x1 space. Inside a building with a roof, it only fits if the building is at least 1 wall high. The wiki also warns that dinosaurs clipping through walls can destroy the box together with its contents.
