You seem to be saying that you can't make a tank out of something that has 'larger' atoms than what it is trying to contain. If that were true, then you couldn't contain Oxygen, which has an atomic weight of 8, using a tank made out of Iron, which has an atomic weight of 26. I'm pretty sure that is not true...
