The Bushman 250 Gallon Doorway Liquid Storage Tank is a black polyethylene tank built narrow enough to move where standard bulk tanks can't go. Its verified dimensions are 54 inches tall, 25 inches wide, and 59 inches long, so it holds 250 gallons in a 25 by 59 inch footprint. The 25-inch width is what lets an empty tank clear a standard doorway, which is the whole point of this shape: you can move it into a basement, utility room, or equipment shed and set it up in a spot a wider round tank would never reach. One thing to plan for up front is that the 59-inch length is the real constraint on cornering down a hall or through a door swing, not the 25-inch width. This is a water and general-liquid storage tank only; no chemical resistance or specific-gravity rating is published for this tank.
Will it work for your space?
Filled with water, this tank carries 2,085 pounds at capacity. Spread across the 25 by 59 inch footprint (about 1,475 square inches), that's roughly 1.4 psi average bearing pressure, so the floor or pad underneath has to be rated for that load. On a wood-framed floor, confirm the joists and subfloor can take a point load in that range before you fill it; on grade, a level concrete pad is the safe default. If you are matching this tank to a specific daily draw or refill schedule, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide so 250 gallons is genuinely the right band and not a guess. Fitting and outlet configuration is not specified in this listing, so confirm bulkhead and gasket size with us at 866-418-1777 before you order any plumbing.
The mistake to avoid
Don't assume the doorway shape means it can go anywhere loaded. The 25-inch width helps you place an empty tank through tight openings, but once it holds water it weighs 2,085 pounds and cannot be moved. Position it empty, in its final resting spot, on a surface engineered for that full weight. If this is above-grade or on a slab, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework for getting the base right. And because premature wall issues on poly tanks tend to start at the vapor-saturated headspace rather than the liquid side, the breakdown on HDPE wall thickness at the headspace is worth reading before you put it into long-term service.
Freight
This doorway tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the list price.
