So, most tanks have a 4 year hydro and can only be hydrotested 5 times, right? I've often taken that to mean that a tank has a 20 year lifespan maximum.
My question is this; is it actually a 20 year life span? Or is it that you can only have it hydro'ed 5 times? Could a tank that's been hydro'ed only a few times over its 18 years of life (and been out of hydro for a few years, unused, before being tested again) still have more than just 2 years of use and play left in it?
