In the case of your water tank, these are typically sold to ranchers
and farmers. These are some of the most tight fisted buyers in any
industry. Expecting long term durability for something that group
would buy is wishful thinking.

Perhaps this explains why tractors and pickup trucks last only
a couple of years (and purchasing ranchers and farmers have
yet to notice.)

Not the farmers I know! A lot of them have pickups from the 70's and
the only reason they don't still regularly use the old Ford tractors
that they still own is because the newer ones are much more powerful
and versatile.
