Pole Transformer Tank Rust.

Zoomup
I noticed a grey painted pole mounted transformer today. The cooling oil tank and one side of the transformer was very rusty. Just what is the metal thickness of the cases of these transformers? When will it rust through and spill its cooling oil?

    My uncle used to work for Shellmex and delivered transformer oil to a few power stations  he told be that delivering a tank of oil used to take 3 days due to not being able to allow air in as would normally happen was a very slow process then when the TX was full the engineers would switch on occasionally there would be a bang and my uncle would have to take the oil out again returning it to Shellmex for drying and cleaning. One of the power stations he would deliver to was Hastings   he ended up living in Ore village near Hastings years later
