The Enduraplas REU025C09S is a 25 gallon DEF tank molded from polyethylene in Natural White, built as a compact portable unit for hauling and dispensing fluid where a full transfer trailer is overkill. If you searched for a 25 gallon tank from Enduraplas, this is the small-footprint workhorse in the line: 31 inches long, 27 inches wide, and just 19 inches tall, so it rides low in a pickup bed, on a skid, or in a utility trailer — and it ships from Texas, which keeps freight lanes short across the southern half of the country.
Specifications that decide the purchase
The tank weighs 74 lb empty — light enough for two people to place dry. Compare contents to contents: 25 gallons of water weighs about 208 lb, while the maximum rated contents at the tank's full 1.9 specific gravity rating is 396 lb. Add the 74 lb shell and the maximum loaded gross is roughly 470 lb — the number that matters for payload ratings and tie-down planning, because once filled this tank cannot be repositioned by hand. The 27.0 x 31.0 inch footprint must bear fully on the deck or skid across the entire base — no rail-only or forklift-tine support under a loaded tank. A 5" lid on top handles filling and inspection; no factory outlet is listed, so plan your own dispensing hardware. Working out total gallons across multiple containers? Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide.
Heat is the enemy of DEF — and this tank's hard limit
Maximum service temperature is 130° F / 54° C. That ceiling is the DEF-relevant spec on this tank: DEF is heat-sensitive and degrades in sustained high temperatures, so treat 130° F as the hard limit and keep the tank shaded in hot-climate truck-bed service.
The 1.9 specific gravity rating matters
The mistake buyers make with small portable tanks is assuming every 25 gallon shell is rated the same. This one carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating — a heavy-duty wall spec with generous structural margin for the sloshing loads of transport. Match the rating to what you actually carry, and verify compatibility for the polyethylene shell AND any fittings or gaskets you add at the 5" lid or drilled ports — elastomer seals, not the shell, are usually the weak point in chemical service. When loaded, strap across the tank body to anchor points rated for the load; 25 gallons of liquid in motion generates real force under braking.
