The 165 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a Bushman vertical tank built for straightforward water and liquid storage where a compact footprint matters. It stands 57 inches tall on a 31 by 31 inch base, so it slips into a corner, a utility closet, a trailer bay, or a pump-house wall where a wider tank would not fit. The vertical profile keeps floor space tight while giving you a full 165 gallons of usable capacity.
Will it work for your site?
Verified dimensions are 57 in high by 31 in wide by 31 in deep, with a 31.0 x 31.0 inch footprint. Filled to the top with water at a specific gravity of 1.0, the tank carries about 1,376 pounds, so plan a level, load-rated pad or platform that supports the full water weight, not the empty shell. Fitting locations for your fill, overflow, and outlet are shown on the technical drawing on this page, so confirm that routing against the drawing before you set the tank. If you are sizing storage for a rainwater catchment run, a haul-and-fill supply, or a portable water tank on a truck, run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide so the 165-gallon size matches your real demand.
One thing not to get wrong
This is a water-service vertical tank, engineered around water at a 1.0 specific gravity. Before you store anything heavier than water, call us at 866-418-1777 so we can confirm the wall rating for your liquid before you order. A denser liquid raises the load on the tank wall, and a tank spec'd for water can be the wrong choice for a heavier product. It costs you nothing to check first, and it keeps you from buying the wrong tank for the job.
