>>> 
>>> I will just use tanks. The reader will know what I mean, and I don't have to explain to them that particular bit of trivia, and the readership don't have to memorize that unique piece of terminology.
>>> 
>>> Besides, they are not speaking English anyway. Just treat it as a translation convention.
