2500 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU SII-8140000C26) is a white polyethylene vertical storage tank built for high-volume liquid holding where footprint and stability matter. It stands 107 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch base, so this is a low, stable profile rather than a narrow column, which is an advantage for wind and exposed rural pads. Before you finalize placement, confirm your pad and any overhead clearance against that 107-inch height. This is the tank people search for as a vertical storage tank, a 2500 gallon vertical tank, or simply by the Snyder name, and the specs below tell you whether it fits your site and your liquid.

Will it work for your liquid and your site?

This tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is the key number to check first. Specific gravity is the weight of your liquid compared to water: water is 1.0, and this tank is engineered to hold contents up to 1.9 times that density. That 1.9 rating sits at the high end for a poly vertical, so water and most standard liquids run well inside the tank's structural margin, giving you long service life rather than running the wall at its limit. Filled with water, 2500 gallons weighs about 20,850 lbs, and the tank is rated to a maximum contents weight of 39,615 lbs at full 1.9 SG capacity. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2500 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle rather than guessing on capacity.

Foundation and placement

A 90 x 90 inch footprint carrying up to 39,615 lbs when full puts real load on your base. Vertical tanks of this size need a level, continuously supported foundation such as a properly sized concrete pad or a compacted, engineered base with no voids under the floor. Uneven support is the most common and most expensive mistake with a tank this large, because it stresses the tank wall over time. Verify the pad is flat and rated for the full loaded weight before the tank arrives. One more placement note: fill promptly after setting the tank, because an empty poly tank of this size is comparatively light and should be anchored or filled before high wind. Confirm fitting and outlet locations from the Snyder technical drawing on this page before setting your plumbing.

Fire-water, reservoir use, and picking the right variant

At 2500 gallons this is a common choice for rural fire-water reservoirs and remote-site storage where a stored volume feeds a private fire-protection system. If that is your application, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites walks through NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. One thing to get right when you order: this is the 90 x 90 in, 107 in-tall version of the 2500-gallon vertical (SII-8140000C26), and other 2500-gallon verticals use different footprints, so match the dimensions to your pad.
