Old Man,
I went to the Protank web site to find an image. Does your tank look like the image below? If so, the only type of insulation I would advise is the type of dense roofing foam available from some spray-foam contractors. You want roofing foam, plus the special coating (paint) used to protect roofing foam from UV light.
