Green, eh? Could only be hydraulic oil!

I doubt it's oil - that would be an insane amount! The green is what I call "factory puke green". Very popular in the '60s and '70s.

Having seen the other pictures, I think it's a tank for hydraulic fluid, but that the fluid in this case would be water.

Hydraulic water ??? uhmmm...
Water doesn't compress very well - and it gets kinda' hot and boils.
Also, in the UK we have been colour coding our tanks since the early 40's.

The fact that water doesn't compress well is an advantage. And very few hydraulic systems will reach 100 deg. C. The reason water isn't often used is because it causes corrosion (see the pictures of the accumulator in the tower). I think in this case it may have been worth using water despite the corrosion problems because of the huge quantity of fluid required.

I've noticed things get serious online in a way that they don't in real life. In real life we'd say "Was it water? Was it oil? Who cares? Let's go to the pub." but somehow it doesn't work that way online.

That's because there's no pub online inventor. :(
