Check out Cushcraft's commercial antennas such as 4504P at http://www.cushcraft.com/ (click on land mobile/paging and follow through to their VHF and UHF arrays.)  You might be able to get some technical assistance from their engineers on phasing harness design for your specific app.

I think reflections from the tank would wreak havoc with the
pattern using omni antennas.
