Original with not rust rot. Light surface rust only. Has a couple bends on the edges from where the strap held it down and a couple large dents that could probably be popped out from pressurizing the tank or if you have the right tools to get inside and pop them out. This is a good usable and ORIGINAL tank. All sales are final. Ask any questions you may have. Please be certain before purchasing. I will ship. Please ask for shipping quote.
