When they are like that they are difficult to drain down and just a tad heavy!
 
Never take a cylinder like that apart as the scrap man will give you less for it.
 
I think he wants top chop open a cylinder from around here.

We had one, could only pour 15/20 litres of water in Till it was filled up!

The water in England must be poor! Water over here, in a lot of areas is good & limescale is unknown. Have seen some grade 3 cylinders here in shiney clean order inside after 20 plus years.
