I DO have a reference for a corn syrup tank having installed a couple at work used in the production of cough syrup. They were vertical cylinders, about 12 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall with semi hemispherical tops and bottoms and supported on legs about 3 feet off the ground for access to valving at the bottom of the tank. Large pumps were mounted nearby each tank that fed a piping switching station.
