Early on I was lucky enough (insert rolling eyes here) to work at Davy Compressor. Apparently Davy was well aware of rusted tank syndrome; their solutions were two depending on the air the compressor made.
The military high pressure units (3500-5000 psi making 15 cubic ft) had spun steel bottles. O.D. of 10".
The main commercial workhorse were formed tanks with 1" plus walls, with a standard practice of hooking up a fogging pump and running 2 to 4 quarts of light oil into the tanks before shipping.
Commercial models had the lid bolted on them. I guess one could unbolt it to inspect the inside. Never heard of anyone doing that.
