That's why you usually buy the tank from the dealer in the first place - you 
get a rusty old beater tank in the first place and never have any higher 
expectations  ;-)

Did you actually buy NEW regular-sized tanks ?/  I'm not sure I've ever seen 
really new tanks, except the little portable ones.  I thought they were made 
by gnomes in the forest, and then beaten up and rusted on the way to the gas 
supplier the first time !!
