I didn't think about if it had to be one material or another to pressurize it. Sure looked like plastic from under the back of the car! I thought that's what many manufacturers were using now, as it can't rust out.

Maybe it's just a plastic cover or coating? I suppose a nice thick coat of powdercoat paint could look like that too.

I didn't actually bang on the tank to listen to it.
That's what I am thinking, a plastic cover. Maybe you can put a magnet up to the plastic the next time you see one. If it tries to stick to the plastic, then there is steel underneath.
