Our first (10,000 gallon galvanized tank) lasted 21 years. It died because one small root grew up on the bottom and eventually punctured the liner.
If that had not happened, I don’t know how much longer it would have lasted.
I would recommend that when getting a new liner, whatever the diameter of the tank is, go with the next bigger diameter tank liner. This will give you a good 2 plus feet or more of “overhang” on the outside of the tank reducing any potential slippage of the liner back into the tank which happened to us on 3 occasions with the old liner.
