RE: Vessel preservation
Any vessel left closed for a long period will collect moisture. From the heating and cooling cycles each day eventually there will be condensation. And this water will contain whatever is in the local air. This will settle in low areas. If this is near a chemical plant or the coast you will end up with various acids and chlorides, and this will lead to pitting.
