API permits use of steel produced to a recognized national standard such as JIS steel. But, you must meet additional requirements of API-650, Section 4, Materials when doing so.

According to API-650, selection of tank material depends on the tank location.

Where, in the world, do you intend to construct this tank.?

Plain A36 material is not permitted in northern climates..
