The Snyder Industries 400 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank in Mocha is a high-density linear polyethylene water storage tank built for reliable above-ground bulk water service. Standing 80 inches tall on a 40 x 40 inch footprint, it holds 400 gallons within a compact vertical profile that suits tight equipment pads, well houses, and remote water storage sites. The Mocha color helps limit light penetration and blends into outdoor installations. This is a straightforward vertical water tank for anyone searching for dependable water storage without an oversized footprint.
Will it work for your water storage?
This tank is rated to a specific gravity of 1.0 — water only. It is NOT rated for heavier-than-water liquids such as fertilizer, brine, or most chemicals; for those you need a higher-SG tank, so call 866-418-1777 before ordering if your liquid is denser than water. Because the SG rating is capped at 1.0, the full-water weight of 3,336 pounds is also the maximum rated contents weight — there is no margin for a denser liquid on this model. If you are still deciding on capacity, run the numbers with our Tank Sizing Calculator and read the Tank Sizing Guide to match tank volume to your daily draw and refill cycle.
Installation and site prep
A vertical tank of this height needs a level, fully supporting base. Concentrated point loads and unsupported edges are the most common install mistake, and they can distort the tank shell over time. Size your pad for the 3,336 lb water load plus the weight of the tank shell itself — confirm shell weight at 866-418-1777 — and our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for getting the pad right. Before you put the tank into service, follow a disciplined fill and monitoring routine — our hydrostatic test methodology covers water-fill acceptance, pad settlement monitoring, and fitting leak checks. Fitting and gasket configuration for this model is not published in our data set — call 866-418-1777 to confirm outlet and bulkhead sizes and gasket material before you order.
Fit for fire-water and reuse storage
Beyond general water storage, this size works well as part of a rural fire-water reserve or an industrial water-reuse train. See our coverage of fire-water reservoir tank design for NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection, or the industrial water reuse tank topology guide for grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation.
