This 2000 gallon vertical liquid storage tank from Snyder Industries is the commercial-grade option in the 2000 gallon class, rated to a 1.9 specific gravity — nearly double the 1.0 specific gravity of water. Molded in white polyethylene, it measures 90" in diameter by 88" tall, weighs 400 lb empty, and arrives with an 18" lid opening and no drilled outlet: you specify the bulkhead location and size your installation actually needs, rather than working around a factory placement.
Specs that decide the purchase
Full of water, this tank holds 16,680 lb of liquid; at its maximum 1.9 specific gravity rating, contents can reach 31,692 lb. Tank plus maximum contents over the 90" diameter footprint works out to roughly 725 lb per square foot — the pad must be flat, load-bearing, and support the full circle. The 1.9 rating and the 120°F (48°C) service ceiling apply together: heavy contents at elevated temperature is where underrated tanks fail, and this commercial-grade wall is built for both limits at once. The squat 90" x 88" profile matters where overhead clearance is tight — compare it against the taller 64" x 152" configuration in our 64" x 152" buyer's guide. At 2000-gallon fill and drain rates, venting is an engineering decision, not an afterthought: our API 2000 vent-sizing worked examples cover verticals exactly in this class. Fire-protection buyers should also see the NFPA 22 fire-water reservoir design guide. Dimensional details are on the technical drawing on this page.
The mistake to avoid
Buyers sometimes order a tank rated only for water (1.0 specific gravity) to store a liquid heavier than water, then discover the tank isn't rated for the load. If your stored liquid is denser than water, this Snyder tank's 1.9 specific gravity rating is the reason to choose it. And because it ships without a fitting, order the outlet hardware with the tank — spec the bulkhead now so you're not waiting on parts after delivery. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will confirm whether 2000 gallons of vertical liquid storage is the right fit before you commit.
