Ho Ed; The Des Plaines\SSA cars are the type you are looking for; in this case a GATX built ICC 103 (or AAR Type III) tank car. Lehigh Valley Models also have a wood and card kit, and the old AF tank also matches your description. If you are looking for a bit of a challenge, the PBL "Gramps" tank prototype was a standard gauge car modified slightly for narrow gauge use and can be re-converted to run on S scale layouts. Steam era tank cars is among the areas where S is limited in variety.
The AM tank cars are more modern designs, as were most of Rusty Downs'.

I see Regal used to make kits, but I can't find anything more recent. I don't have the knowledge to understand what Des Plaines offers by description alone without pictures. Everyone else seems to only carry chemical tanks, and I don't know what years they represent. In situations like this, I really miss being able to go somewhere and see what I'm buying.
