I think what you've got on your mind is probably Cor-Ten. I forget it's exact properties, but it's a harder steel, and it's supposed to resist rusting. It forms an initial layer, and it's supposed to stay like that. The informastion I've read on it though states that it wants to go through wet-dry cycles. It can be wet, but it needs to dry afterward. It's not supposed to be continously wet. I'd think that in a tanker, it would be wet most if not all the time, which would not be good for Cor-Ten.
I'd just go with plain old mild steel, sand blast it, and then prime it and paint with a polyamide epoxy paint. There's a couple old Hedlund Martin spreaders around here that were done with that about 15 years ago, and they are holding up very very well. It's a bit more money for the paint, but it's well worth it. That's a very durable paint. That's what I'd do anyway....
