Tank will not 'explode', but a hole of the tank will blow out if rusted through.
Usually the tank blows a small pin hole in the rusted area just about 2 inches from the bottom.
Mines quite old and 1/4 inch thick.
There are large bungs in the tanks to allow the insuance guy to look inside.
I drain mine everytime I think of it.
........tried leaving the petcock cracked open but it soon sealed it's self up.
Was going to look for a 'self drain' like the wet tank on a semi truck...never got 'roundtuit.
...anyone know if it's available/possible ?
