The Bushman 3000 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU 40755) is a large-volume vertical bulk water tank sold here without fittings, so you spec the bulkhead outlets, overflows, and vent to match your own plumbing rather than paying for hardware you would only cut off and replace. It stands 109 inches tall on a 95 x 95 in footprint, giving you serious water storage in a compact ground area for rural water, hauled-water reserves, irrigation, or a fire-water reservoir.
Will it work for your site?
Plan the pad before the tank arrives. Filled to 3000 gallons of water this tank carries roughly 25,020 pounds full of water (SG 1.0), so it needs a level, continuously supported base rated for that load - compacted stone or a reinforced slab across the full 95 x 95 in footprint, never a ring or point supports. Because it ships without fittings, decide your outlet and overflow sizes up front and confirm the drilling locations against the technical drawing on this page. If you are still working out whether 3000 gallons is the right volume for your draw rate and refill schedule, our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through the math for a vertical liquid storage tank.
The mistake to avoid
This is a water and liquid storage tank. Ordering it without fittings means the responsibility for matching gasket and bulkhead material to your service sits with you - so confirm your intended liquid before you drill. For anything beyond water, verify the resin and specific-gravity rating first, since neither is stated on this listing. Size your fittings and stand pipe for the full head of a 109-inch-tall column of water; the real failure mode on a self-fitted tank is an undersized bulkhead or the wrong gasket durometer, which throttles your draw or weeps under head - so match both to the outlet size and the liquid you actually run.
Fire-water and reserve service
A 3000-gallon vertical tank is a common building block for private fire protection and cold-climate reserve storage. If that is your application, our guide to fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection so you build the reserve correctly the first time. Cross-shopping the same volume? The dimensionally identical 95" x 109" 3000-gallon vertical (#43092) and the taller-footprint 102" x 93" builds (#45246 and #43136) let you compare footprints against your pad.
