Assessing state of SS water tank
Today I cleaned one of my 33yo SS water tanks and while doing so I noticed the edges show some signs of corrosion. Is that something I should worry about or is it normal in tanks this age?

Maybe there are better ways to assess the state of SS tanks as well?

Thanks in advance! Click image for larger version Name: 20230806_105524.jpg Views: 41 Size: 47.0 KB ID: 279260

Re: Assessing state of SS water tank
Probably welded with the wrong rod. It will work until it doesn't, not much you can do to change that or assess the amount of time you have left.
