I see there are 2 gallon expansion tanks and the there are 2 gallon tanks for pumps.
What is the difference?
 
Can I use an expansion tank as a storage tank on my pump?
Not effectively, there is a bladder with air that limits capacity to maybe 30-40 percent. If storage is needed a cistern or holding tank is best.
 
Hmm, that's not it, most Pump storage tanks have bladders in them now a days, just as the expansion tanks.
