Ever try breathing under water? Certainly water contains oxygen, the
question I have is does metal rust faster under water with small amounts
of oxygen or under damp conditions, with lots of oxygen available?

I have no clue what the inside of my tank looks like. If it ever fails,
maybe tomorrow, maybe in another 30 years, perhaps I'll cut the sucker
in half and see where it rusted.
