Only a hydrostatic test can prove the integrity.


True, but if it is surface rust, it should be OK.

Ever wonder what the inside bottom of a tank looks like, especially on
that does not get drained after each use?

I have to think that there is a healthy safety margin designed into tanks.

they will be able to do a hydrostat (or know where to go)
