[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8048012, member: 718"] Sight glasses blow out though, mainly because the plastic gets brittle with age. Tankers almost always implode rather than explode. The better built ones will have strong hoops welded to the inside of the tube to prevent implosion. Poor ones will not and might use thinner plate for the tube. Star brand tankers were built and sold cheap at one time and were notorious for imploding after a good few year’s use. If one has started to go, and the further from the ends the bigger the danger, it presents a very high risk of imploding completely. It has, after all, done the hard part which is to start bending the tube inwards. The finale may well be sudden and dramatic. [/QUOTE]
