¡Mil gracias, Enrique! Tu ayuda me fue muy útil. Efectivamente, es el sitio donde están los medidores. No es precisamente una depresión, sino más bien una zona que está a media altura del tanque y no en la parte superior.

neutral  bigedsenior: The only meaning of pothole I've ever encountered is 'bache'. a hole in the road. I have been using the same Robb for 35 years and it is full of additions and corrections.

  -> Pothole: nido, bache, olleta. Maybe you're right, but I guess it refers to small holes (nichos) at the top of the tank, as they have to climb a ladder to check...

dome/housing


Explanation:
This where gauges and valves would be located. 'pozuelo' implies some sort of well or depression, which is not consistent with the design of pressurized tanks. Certainly on a RR tank car it is a dome.
