Boiler_81:
Gilldiver is correct. The hot dipping of a tank will not have any impact on it's strength. On what basis do you think the tanks would be rejected?

One possibility is that the extra coat of galvanize may make the stampings unreadable. If the working pressure and other information can not be read it may be refused. I have seen tanks with only the original galvanize and some stamping are barely readable.
