No, you have 1/2 pound per square inch spread out evenly. It's a tank, it has 1/2 psi on its surface and that won't change if that surface is round, square, 1 square inch or 1 square mile.
What you are saying is no different than stating that since atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psia there is almost 34 tons pushing down on a 4X8 sheet of plywood ... it sounds all techie and exciting but really means nothing.
The crap headed for the sky because it was accelerated by tank pressure through the nozzle formed by the pumpout connection.
I don't understand why it keeps flowing here.
