2000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU SII-8130000C26) is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank built for high-volume water and liquid storage where a stable, gravity-fed footprint matters. It measures roughly 90 inches across the base and stands 88 inches tall, and its 1.9 specific gravity rating gives it real wall strength above plain water density. This page covers what it holds, how it ships, and the one site-prep detail that trips up first-time buyers.

What this tank handles

At 2000 gallons, a full load of plain water weighs about 16,680 pounds, while the tank body is rated to carry contents weighing up to 31,692 pounds. Do the arithmetic and that ceiling is about 1.9 times the weight of water, which is exactly what the 1.9 SG rating buys you. The wall is engineered for liquids heavier than water, so when this tank holds plain water it is not living at the edge of its limit. For irrigation supply, non-potable bulk water, or general vertical liquid storage, that margin is your safety factor. If you are still choosing a capacity, run the numbers in the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.

Footprint, weight, and site prep

With a base near 90 inches across and an 88 inch height, this vertical tank needs a level pad at least 90 x 90 inches that fully supports the loaded weight. A vertical tank must sit on a continuous flat base with the entire bottom supported, not on blocks or a partial ring. Confirm the exact fitting locations and outlet layout on this unit before delivery so your plumbing, overflow, and vent line up. If you are plumbing fast fill and draw lines, the atmospheric vent capacity calculations guide shows why a large vertical needs a properly sized vent for liquid movement.

The mistake to avoid

The single most common error on a tank this size is undersizing the pad. A base near 90 inches across that is not dead level puts uneven stress on a poly wall carrying more than eight tons of water. Get the pad flat and full-contact, size the vent to your flow, and this tank will serve for years.
