Jet A1 delivery and storage

Again sorry if this has been covered but i could not find any definitive rule stating what material the tank should be .
I have a 3000 lt aviation bowser . I cant get deliveries for such a small amount and it has to be a rigid lorry because of the lanes . I am thinking of putting a 5000 lt tank outside the back of the hangar and connecting it into my bowser ...making 8000 lt . Does it HAVE to be stainless or can it be mild steel ?
Also is there anyone up near Skipton , Preston , Leeds area who would share loads ???
I have to say i was quite surprised at how much water was in the bottom of my bowser when i drained it . About 75 lt of fuel left when the pump ran dry and i guess a full cup of water .....
