Peak tank is the highest-possible expression of resilience or durability — the moment or instance that represents the ceiling of what a person can absorb and still function. When someone hits peak tank, witnesses take note: this was the most anyone could have endured in these circumstances and they endured it. It might be a friend who shows up to work the day after a disaster, or a team that holds together through six consecutive crises. Peak tank moments become reference points. You say 'remember when they went peak tank during the whole thing?' and everyone knows exactly what you mean.
