Karen
A food grade epoxy can be used to coat the extractor tank.  Also I think if
you check at most sheet metal shops they would fabricate a stainlees steel
tank to replace your galvanized one.  Kelley might also fabricate you a
tank.
Cost might be the limiting factor.  You can likely buy a used stainless
extractor for less than reworking a galvanized tank.  Then sell the old
extractor, they usually bring $50.00 to $100.00
