Understand that the chipping may be so small as to be unvisible;i saw
at least 1 tank where corrosion had started under the liner,bubbling
it away from the inner surface of the cylinder,yet there were no
macroscopic breaks in the liner.

Good advice here;if it's lined,it's probably a steel '72,and they are
dirt cheap.
