Sticking with the magic theme, once I cleaned this tank out, this is what I found. NOT THE QUARTER... the gap that the quarter is being slid into. The quarter is in the seam at the end of the tank. The seam had separated and oil was starting to seep out. This tank had been neglected in a damp basement with a lot of storage items piles on and around the tank.
Tanks, like most things, rot from the inside or rot form the outside. The inside is harder to determine, which makes it more dangerous. An occasional glance at your tank for wetness, dampness or rust can save the day and prevent a mess. This homeowner caught the issue just in time!
