Day Tank
A glass-containing vessel made from refractory blocks mainly used for the
melting of batch for coloured glass, crystal glass and soft special glasses.
Day tanks are refilled with batch daily, with melting usually done at night
and glass production the following day. Used for producing larger quantities
of glass than is possible with pot furnaces (see "pot"). The type of glass
to be melted can be changed at short notice.

He who lives in a glass boat shouldn't throw seashells???? In actuality,
it's a type of diesel storage system that uses a gravity siphon....I have no
idea why you'd want one except (i'll guess) it would relieve having your
engine pump the diesel in? (That's just a guess from someone who can change
oil but really doesn't much get into the mechanics of it all...)
