Wonderful picture, Jim!

I'll leave the ID to my many superiors in those things but, well, as Holmes said, "you know my methods, Watson".   By my reckoning from several comparisons with measurements of No. 6 in the photo,  this tank is indeed about 20,000 gal, can't be more than 10% larger than that.
That indeed means it certainly is not a standard 30,000 gal C&S tank (besides that, it's not tapered).  I make the height and diameter both to be 15 feet, which gives
20,000 gal full to the brim.  A very neat little tank!

Cheers,
John
