Reply to 5# wdh2010: The light-transmitting holes are usually located on the top of the tank, serving to provide light and ventilation during the installation and cleaning of oil tanks. The light-transmitting hole is an accessory of the storage tank, and can therefore be considered a standard component; equipment manufacturers generally produce it. It can be purchased as long as the model is provided.
