Default Any reason not to use ibc water tote for storage?

I'm hatching a plan for my solar hot water collection. I need a storage tank and it seems the 255 or 330 gallon ibc totes would be ideal candidates. I believe the max temperature rating for the plastic is 230F. The tank would be located underneath my house and heavily insulated by me. This will be an open loop drain back system pressurized by pumps. I haven't found any posts of these in use besides rain harvesting. Has any one else tried this ?
