Default Simple test for detecting galvanized ?

I've opened the sender hole and checked with a flashlight inside. I saw the
bottom of the tank that looked like flaky patterns, can it be electroplated
zinc ?

Hi all,

I have a old 1967 fuel tank on my boat that was used for gasoline and i'm
converting to diesel. I'm wondering though if the tank "could be" coated
with zinc inside (galvanized). First i wonder how someone could put zinc
inside a tank but anyway do you have an idea on how this could be checked
? The tank is closed except for one small 2 inches wide hole.
