Best Answer

The supports for the tank may not be strong enough to hold the tank and its liquid contents (which may be substantially heavier than the tank). Additionally, the filling process may apply uneven stress in various areas of the tank structure, where shifting pressure causes the side walls or bottom to separate or split open.
