:In Zero Mission, Samus can find the tank through the drop before the exit door. Above the lava is a ledge, which Samus can climb onto to roll into a tunnel. Under the floor here is another pit of lava, which turns out to be fake. Samus must fall into this pit and shoot the bottom of the wall. The tank is found here.
