personally I built this simple one HTML

.tank{
    position:relative;
     margin:50px;
}

.tank .middle{
    width:120px;
    height:180px;
    background-color:#444;
    position:absolute;
}

.tank .top{
    width: 120px;
    height: 50px;
    background-color:#666;
    -moz-border-radius: 60px / 25px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 60px / 25px;
    border-radius: 60px / 25px;
    position:absolute;
    top:-25px;
}

.tank .bottom{
    width: 120px;
    height: 50px;
    background-color:#444;
    -moz-border-radius: 60px / 25px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 60px / 25px;
    border-radius: 60px / 25px;
    position:absolute;
    top:155px;
    box-shadow:0px 0px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.75)
}

<div class="tank">
    <div class="bottom"></div>
    <div class="middle"></div>
    <div class="top"></div>  
</div>
