Spoke with the shop that does all my hydro tests.  They tell me that, as far as
they know, there is no blanket prohibition from hydro testing a steel 72 that
is (externally) vinyl coated, as long as there is no rust between the coating
and the tank.  If the tank has the internal epoxy liner then they will not
certify the tank.
