Probably the diesel my outboard has a portable tank in the lazzarette.

The tank is steel of some description, it must be of decent quality because mine has had no internal corrosion at all.
When I bought the boat it had half a tank of vintage diesel so I was worried about corrosion or a layer of muck, but it was surprisingly clean with no corrosion - bonus!
