As far as your friend is concerned, think I would investigate the usage
of bladder tanks inside the existing steel tanks.

My guess is you try to repair existing tanks, might get one year, if lucky.

A lot of work and high risk of early failure IMHO.

Thanks for this Lew,
I shall pass it on.

cheers

I'm not sure how much actual Coal Tar is in Coal Tar Epoxy, but since
coal tar was one of the earliest listed carcinogens, I wouldn't want to
drink water that had been steeped in a tank lined with it...
