| Can you squeeze the sides of the tank wall any? If you can, then it will not be suitable for high vacuum storage. Hot water tanks are perfect for this operation. |

Good find! You should be set up to do some big pulls with that much capacity.
IMX, compressor tanks work fine for vacuum. Since they were built to contain compressed air over 100 psi they are built strong enough to handle vacuum. My system uses a 30 gallon compressor tank that a neighbor actually gave me.
