Proposal
This is a proposal for tagging for gasometers. A gasometer is a large storage container for gas. The gas is not liquified in a gasometer.
Rationale
Being mostly tall structures, gasometers are landmarks which lend themselves to navigating. Most gasometers are easy to discern from other structures by the layperson. Some gasometers
Proposed Tagging
Applies to nodes or closed ways.
Required tagging
- man_made=gasometer
Secondary tagging
- height = <height of the gasometer in metres>
- contents = <which gas>
- operator = <company name or similar>
Suggested Rendering
Rendering of a node in typical Mapnik colours: in zoom 16 and above, smaller in zoom 14 and 15, appears at about the same zoom level as churches, whose steeples are landmarks of similar height. One could use different inner circle diameters for silos and water towers. Areas may be mapped with a similar inner outline, if feasible.
Tagging in use prior to the proposal
The following tagging structures have been identified:
- 3839 uses as of 2012-03-28.

Proposed features/storage tank - This proposal offers an alternative (conflicting) approach for tagging a gasometer. man_made=storage_tank could perhaps be combined with storage_tank=gasometer (or just 'gas') .
