Description
Now I know why nobody does fanart for these things...I couldn't find a nice, clear shot of this tank! In all the episodes, the video quality is either too low to make out the details, or the tank is too far away to see clearly. I had to rely on looking at various closeups on certain parts of the tank to piece this together- the episodes I made reference to were 'The Northern Air Temple', 'The Siege of the North part 2' and 'The Cave of Two Lovers'.
However, I believe I have finally managed to piece together a fairly accurate drawing of this tank. Note the ladder on the side of the rectangular middle portion that rotates
Also- there's a pressure gauge on one of the large cylindrical bits in front of the tank. I suspect that both the cylindrical parts in the front AND the back contain water, as part of that counterbalancing system that Teo mentioned. When Katara said: "Can you get me close to one?" I think the idea was that she bended the water INSIDE the tank, but due to the difficulty in animating that, they just had her defeat the tank in a more conventional way, which seems kinda silly because she didn't need that information about water being in the counterbalancing system to do what she did.
