So glad the automotive industry doesn't take that approach.miketsp:I just ran a quick Google on taking failed tanks out of service immediately and many shops make them unusable one way or another.
Example: "At ASK Water Sports we do FAIL tanks! This is not always due to one major defect. Sometimes it is due to an uneasy feeling due to several marginal issues with a tank. We normally destroy a failed tank by damaging the threads so the tank can not be restored to use. This is done only after a thorough, professional inspection."

"I'm sorry sir we had to destroy your Lexus, one of the tires had low air pressure and the radio was all staticky. It gave us an uneasy feeling"
